Is this a Linux binary of Mozilla?  If you are trying to run a Linux
application, you need to do three things:
1. Install a Linux emulation port - ports/emulators/linux_base is a good
   choice;
2. Load the linux.ko kernel module or compile it into the kernel;
3a. Set the kern.fallback_elf_brand sysctl variable to 3, or
3b. Run 'brandelf -t Linux /path/to/executable' on the file that you want
   to actually run.

For more information, see chapter 10, "Linux Binary Compatibility", of
the FreeBSD Handbook.

G'luck,
Peter
