The errors that kept firefox from working would be useful, but in the meantime: You can download a pre-built (pkgsrc, not dports) version of firefox-19 with:
(if you are on i386) http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-3.4/stable/All/firefox-19.0.2.tgz (if you are on x86_64) pkg_radd http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.4/stable/All/firefox-19.0.2.tgz For the mouse... I'm guessing, but: look at your xorg.conf and set /dev/sysmouse for the pointer device? If that doesn't work, maybe /dev/ums0 instead?
