Is the firewall logging working?

You need lines in your syslog.conf like ...

!ipfw
*.*                                             /var/log/ipfw.log



Then you can tail -f /var/log/ipfw.log

and try to access the web page. You should see packets being
blocked and figure out which rules are wrong / which rules you
need to add.

You let the DNS responses in, but I do not see any place
where you let your requests out.
