Hi,

www/firefox/patches/patch-aa's MOZ_SAMPLE_TYPE_S16 and MOZ_SAMPLE_TYPE_FLOAT32
part is wrong. NetBSD should be configured with MOZ_SAMPLE_TYPE_FLOAT32,
not MOZ_SAMPLE_TYPE_S16.
I will fix this mistake in firefox-29.0 that will be released tomorrow.
# Firefox 29.0b9 is built under my NetBSD/amd64 6.99.40 test
# environment successfully.

Thank you.
