If you used ipfwadm -a ...some stuff... to add a rule, then use
            ipfwadm -d ...some stuff... to delete it.

Personally I prefer to create a file /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall which does:

#!/bin/bash
ipfwadm -I -p reject
ipfwadm -I -f
ipfwadm -I -a accept ... whatever
... etc

Then when I change the rules I just re-run this script; it is also invoked
at bootup from rc.local
