Chapter 4 of the Handbook deals with "Installing Applications" on
FreeBSD:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html>

Chapter 6.2 is about browsers:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html>

| 6.2.5 Firefox
| [...]
| Install the package by typing:
| # pkg_add -r firefox
|
| You can also use the Ports Collection if you prefer to compile from
| source code:
|
| # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
| # make install clean

hth,
Harald
