I'm copying the UPDATING entry that describes how to fix the issue. This
should fix your problem.

  AFFECTS: users of www/firefox and www/seamonkey
  AUTHOR: gecko at FreeBSD.org

  When using Firefox or SeaMonkey compiled with ALSA option ON it may
  crash on assert in alsa_refill_stream as described in ports/170473.
  To workaround disable ARIFF_OSS in audio/alsa-plugins or use PULSEAUDIO.

HTH,
Florian
