Which exact version of head do you have, and which version(s) of ports?  Are you running WITH_NEW_XORG or not?

In any case, I have just built the latest Firefox from ports, with clang 3.3, and I see no issues at all.  At least with approximately 10 minutes of browsing, and visiting a varied bunch of sites.  I do have it built with debug info, but without cranking down the optimization level to -O0 (which is what bsd.port.mk seems to do, unfortunately).

I will rebuild it again, without any debug info, to see if that makes any difference.  I don't think it will, though...
