Linux emulation is both a good, and a bad thing. Good, because software
that is available only for Linux (usually binary-only, closed-source)
can be run on FreeBSD, and bad, because it removes an (albeit small)
incentive to port applications to FreeBSD (or NetBSD, ...).
I've never used java with firefox so I can't help you there.
mkb.
