This is the problem. You tried to install firefox with a severely 
outdated list of local packages.

grep gio-fam-backend /usr/ports/MOVED
devel/gio-fam-backend|devel/glib20|2013-07-31|Obsoleted by new 
functionality in glib20

I think it probably was like version 2.34.? in 2013. I'm surprised that 
firefox 44.0 worked for you... Ports and packages are not designed to 
deliver single applications but to create an ecosystem. Try upgrading 
all of your package or reinstalling them.
