I may be off here but...
You might make sure you have the very latest Firefox.  Meaning, cvsup 
today.  And rebuild it.  They don't mention what the real problem was so 
I don't know if its your issue or not.  But it might help.

There is a post in cvs-all@ where someone mentions java being fixed by a 
particular update to the port.  So you may have a port that predates 
that fix.

Hope that does the trick.
