Hello,

Your pkgsrc tree is obsolete. Firefox 1.5.0.8 and 2.0 are
released in the -current tree.

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/www/firefox/README.html

You should update pkgsrc/www/firefox from your pkgsrc tree by cvs.

However, if you don't want to compile Firefox you can use firefox-bin
package which is the version linux of firefox.
