Well, in the future, freebsd-gnome@freebsd.org is the list for GNOME
issues.  

This problem is most likely related to xalf (Launch Feedback).  Since
launch feedback is a FreeBSD library, it can't launch Linux binaries. 
Simply to into Control Center, and turn off Launch Feedback.  You should
be able to launch Linux Mozilla then.
