Desinstall Firefox and install it again and then I run pkgdb -F. umm but 
since you updated your port sources I'd just run portupgrade, you do 
have it installed?, and upgrade everything, it will take awail and if 
portupgrade bitch's about py24-* (used for gnome, gtk stuff) you'll have 
to umm I think manually deinstall and then reinstall it or pkgdb -F or 
something like that, I can't remember. just know that when they change 
the port from py23-* to py24-* portupgrade didn't like it and would not 
upgrade the port. its up to you if you just want to rebuild firefox or 
do the whole shebang.
