Basically, the firefox tarball is corrupt - the system can't verify that it's the right file. Most likely, a tarball was partially downloaded, and for some reason was truncated before fetch got finished with it (e.g. connection dropped, you control-C'ed out to do something else, whatever), or it's possible that the file was simply corrupted in transfer. This is a pretty easy fix --- all you should have to do is delete the bad tarball from /usr/ports/distfiles and start the process again. HTH, Kevin Kinsey
