The reasoning to update www/firefox-esr is simple: the esr31 branch will
be supported for the next 56 weeks, while the esr24 branch will die in
12 weeks - this way, 5.6-stable will receive updates.

- add a default prefs all-openbsd.js file, pointing
spellchecker.dictionary_path to ${LOCALBASE}/share/mozilla-dicts/ so
that systemwide dictionaries are looked for by default.
- while here the same file disables safebrowsing feature, as is already
done in www/mozilla-firefox.
Firefox ESR is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop
environment in large organizations such as universities and other
schools, county or city governments and businesses. During the extended
cycle, no new features will be added to a Firefox ESR; only
high-risk/high-impact security vulnerabilities or major stability fixes
will be corrected.
Note that using it on OpenBSD is NOT supported by mozilla. People
willing to deploy it should subscribe to the EWG mailing list.
