Current pkgsrc as well as pkgin firefox is 45.
It was working for me on amd64 for firefox38 which I am not more able to
build on i386.

I did that already. Everything I have is from pkgin now.

Yes, I, too, have those.

May be I should try building older ff versions till it works, or switch
back to amd64.

But another point of view is that stray error about libX11.so.6 that came
once and never appeared again. If that is the root cause I don't think
older versions would work.

May be I have got some wrong suse packages?
