Did you compile the port with debugging on?  Mozilla beeps like a 
lunatic when it's compiled with debugging.  Have a look at 
/var/db/ports/firefox/options and see if there is a line like 
"WITH_DEBUG=true".

If there is, then delete /var/db/ports/firefox/options.  Go to 
/usr/ports/www/firefox and do a make.  This time do not turn debugging 
on when asked to pick options!.  Then "make deinstall; make reinstall".
