Looks like this is caused by the startup improvements in Firefox 7:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552864

This makes our MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH patch to run-mozilla.sh useless
(see ports/www/firefox/files/patch-build_unix_run-mozilla.sh).

We have to find another solution for this. I don't have any plugins installed
to test this but as a workaround you could try to start Firefox with the 
old run-mozilla.sh script:
# cd /usr/local/lib/firefox/bin && ./run-mozilla.sh firefox

HTH,
Beat
