Try deleting the firefox sources you downloaded previously and start again.
It seems your download somehow got corrupted:

     # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox35
     # make distclean
     # make install  

If you still get a corrupted download, try fetching manually from one of the other
FTP sites (hint: make -v MASTER_SITES) or grab the tarball from 
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/  -- then just put the source
tarball into /usr/ports/distfiles and restart the build.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
