Ok, there are some dependencies involved here. Do you have all of them?

There has to be something that everyone is assuming is going on, but 
isn't. What that could be, I don't know. You should be getting some 
sort of error message. Are you trying to start firefox from within KDE, 
Gnome, or something else?

Try "locate firefox |less", there should be a ton of stuff. There should 
be two entries under /usr/X11R6/bin. Firefox and firefox-config. 
Under /usr/X11R6/include/, there should be a whole lot of things. Also, 
under /usr/X11R6/lib/, there should be a lot of 
things. /usr/X11R6/libdata should have about 4, and /usr/X11R6/share 
has a lot more. If those aren't there, then your make of firefox may 
have succeeded, but the install part didn't. 

Have you tried "pkg_add -r firefox"? That will for sure get you a 
firefox installed.
