Changing the gcc version is something you do actively, otherwise you get 
the stock compiler. Here's how to do it
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/custom-gcc/configuring-ports-gcc.html

Since you do not override CFLAGS, I can't help you, because using 
default settings made my problems go away. The only difference is that I 
don't use cups, but I doubt that would make a difference for Firefox, 
and that I have perl 5.12.2.
