You need emulators/linux_base-8. But you shouldn't unless you have a linux binary. I didn't see a adobe plugin in the ports system so I am guessing this is where you went wrong. Did you tell firefox to install a linux or unix plugin for pdfs or acrobat reader? Remove the adobe plugin and see if firefox works right. Also did you install the native firefox from ports?
