It basically stated: Can't make deinstall, firefox3 not installed. <-- something to that effect. However, the pkg_delete command was able to deinstall it. Thank you, for the information about make clean part of the command. I think the problem, was that I had installed FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE, then added the firefox3 port, then about a few weeks later upgraded to "p2" version and ran portupgrade. All is good right now. Have firefox35 now installed and working.
