Mozilla don't keep many old releases on the http distribution sites. You can fetch this from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/source/firefox-5.0.source.tar.bz2 I'll add this to ports/www/mozilla/mozilla.port.mk in -stable in a bit. I'd really suggest running -current if you want to keep up to date with things like browsers. Then you can just use packages rather than spend hours building (also note that only fixes for the worst bugs will get into -stable; and even then only if they won't cause problems for other ports needing a whole chain of updates). Just because -stable is named -stable doesn't imply that -current is likely to break often.
