Have a look at www.mozilla.org how to install your mozilla and try to do it the way they describe.

(This is definitely *not* intended as "browser wars" bait. There are other browsers available as FreeBSD ports. The only ones I've used have been Netscape - as a package from a CD, thus avoiding the long download - Opera, lynx, and w3m. The latter two are text mode browsers.)
