Bugreport file of firefox

Just tried www-client/firefox-17.0.9. it emerged successfully but doesn't work on ppc64. It died out with a bugreport when ran at first time, and just died without any info thereafter. I tried also firefox-10.0.11, which didn't compile because of missing <unistd.h> header in 3 files. After I added the header and installed that version of firefox, it works well.
