Hi,
My firefox installation is failing; I am getting "firefox-3.6.8,1 is already installed" error even though I have not installed it earlier.
I tried installing like `portmaster www/firefox` and also `cd www/firefox; make install`.
I checked my /usr/local/bin to see if there is a firefox there and I could not find it. Also in 'www/firefox' make deinstall/reinstall are failing. What am i doing wrong? How should I get firefox installed.

Code:
===> Checking if www/firefox already installed
===> firefox-3.6.8,1 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of www/firefox
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
