upgrade of firefox from v54 to v59 hosed up

[wa5qjh]

First off  the system is:

FreeBSD fbsd11rd3 11.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p9 #0: Tue Apr  3
16:59:16 UTC 2018    
***@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC 
amd64     running UFS on partition 3 of 4 of a 1TB HD.
on an ASUS  intel i3 motherboard.

Two days ago  I upgraded Firefox from v54 to v59

In the process pkg also hosed up qt5, stripped many of my other apps
like telegram & quassel ( which is dependant on qt5), qtcreator, and
others  I havent tried yet. now Firefox will load many of the URL's that
it did before  but several  it wont.top among them being facebook and
the list of search engines in  the search bar:  Google, duck duck go,
bing, amazon etc.  In all of these cases the error I get now is:

       Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY

Immediately after the update, firefox reported  that an SQLite lib had
not installed correctly, so I reinstalled that.

The update also updated Seamonkey and it reports  the same error.

Among sites not similarly rejected are TI.com piratebay ( which I tried
out of curiosity), amsat.org and several others. I cannot explain  this
nor why even after re-installing, quassel, and telegram-desktop appear
to be starting but soon die.

 This is not the first time such an update has wiped out other apps, it
happened while the system was 11.0 also, but that was months ago and,
fortunatly, I dont remember mucvh of the details.

I can see where this might appear as at least 2 independent problems,
but I dont believe it is.

Firefox is also my favourite when it comes to upgrading. Can you try a
source upgrade? I expect some problems with rust there but compiling
rust by hand will solve all problems.

I didnt need to do a source upgrade because the~  sudo pkg upgrade -y
firefox did work but it sucked in a long list of other things it wanted
to upgrade, delete,install as well, including QT5-gui perl5.26 and
qtcreator among them.

That qtcreator is proving very problematic as apparently there isnt one
adjusted for qt5-5.9.4 yet. , just qt5-4.7.1. so i tried to go and build
that. didnt work out so well yet. I've only got a intel core i3
motherboard and after a bit of compiling FreeBSD froze up solid. no
cursor movement nothing moving in gkrellm2, nothing except did see disk
activity periodically. after an hour or so waiting to see if it would
finally finish,  I gave up, rebooted, and havent yet gotten back  to
trying again. not the first time things have frozen during a build,
either. tried telegram-desktop few days earlier. that time, after
rebooting,  i tried again. same freeze-up.
