you got the name right.

ipfw is a FreeBSD-specific firewall.

you don't want to mangle /etc/defaults/.

if it's *really* started, you'll want to disable it. neither
firewall (ipfw / ipfilter) is started by default, however. do you
see anything like "Kernel firewall module loaded" during startup?
if that is the case, all you need is firewall_enable="NO" in
/etc/rc.conf. from reading /etc/rc.network at least it looks like
that should cover you.
