What are errors of gmake? Why are you trying to start firefox if it will
not install due to failure of build (gmake)?

If you are trying to start firefox inside the www/firefox/work/ then I
doubt that it will working. Mine has the successed installation of firefox
and the moz_libdir is correct.
=========================================
# grep moz_libdir /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox
moz_libdir="/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox"
# pkg_info | grep firefox
firefox-1.0.7_4,1
=========================================
/me goes to class for the test now...
