www/firefox-remote uses a PORTNAME of "firefox" which is hte same as that of the main firefox port. This results in firefox-remote over-writing the options for firefox. Since firefox-remote is onloy used with firefox, this means that, if any options are selected, options for firefox are lost and vice-versa. Fix: Change PORTNAME to firefox-remote How-To-Repeat: Install firefox with an option selected and then build firefox with options selected.

But the mechanism is different, and here www/firefox-remote is a distinct port to www/firefox, and the problem is due to clearly incorrect code in the firefox-remote port. Like Kevin says, start with setting: PORTNAME= firefox-remote remove PKGNAMESUFFIX and adjust anywhere that refers to those variables.
