Linux emulation is both a good, and a bad thing.  Good, because software 
that is available only for Linux (usually binary-only, closed-source) 
can be run on FreeBSD, and bad, because it removes an (albeit small) 
incentive to port applications to FreeBSD (or NetBSD, ...).

I've never used java with firefox so I can't help you there.
