The following excerpt from /usr/ports/UPDATING will completely answer 
your question :)

20080727:
  AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3
  AUTHOR: gnome at FreeBSD.org

  Update to 3.0.1_1,1; it no longer seeks for plugins in 
lib/browser_plugins,
  because few plugins that built with Firefox 2 can cause Firefox 3 to 
crash.
  We are working on making some changes with plugins directory by using
  www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi. If there are some other plugins
  that work with Firefox 3 and you would like to use, you can copy them to
  ~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins manually for now.
