Hi Warren,

Although, I've closed the console that had the message. It basically
stated: Can't make deinstall, firefox3 not installed. <-- something to
that effect.

However, the pkg_delete command was able to deinstall it.

Thank you, for the information about make clean part of the command.

I think the problem, was that I had installed FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE, then
added the firefox3 port, then about a few weeks later upgraded to "p2"
version and ran portupgrade.

All is good right now. Have firefox35 now installed and working.
