Looks like your adobe plugin is a linux port.  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?
