YES your problem is the *s* at the and of the firewall_enable line ;-)
So the correct syntax is :
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.conf"
# To avoid the display of rules during loading :
firewall_quiet="YES"
# To display the log (for log rules) in /var/log/security
firewall_logging="YES"

In your case, the *firewall_type* seems to not be necessary unless you use the default rc.firewall syntax.

Moreover, according to me, a chmod 600 /etc/ipfw.conf seems to be better ;-)
