Well, the output you sent tells us that you have a "checksum
mismatch" for the firefox tarball.  Basically, the firefox tarball is
corrupt - the system can't verify that it's the right file.

Most likely, a tarball was partially downloaded, and for some
reason was truncated before fetch got finished with it (e.g.
connection dropped, you control-C'ed out to do something
else, whatever), or it's possible that the file was simply
corrupted in transfer.

This is a pretty easy fix --- all you should have to do is delete
the bad tarball from /usr/ports/distfiles and start the process again.

HTH,
