The best thing to do with a firewall log is to ignore it completely, unless you are trying to debug why your firewall settings are preventing something working which you want to work. Many firewall log entries arise from harmless side-effects of living on the internet, and you would cause unjustified trouble if you tried to follow them up. The few that represent genuine malicious probes (if you could distinguish which they were, which is non-trivial) might be worth noting, but basically most people have better things to do with their life. If your firewall does its job, you are best advised to just let it get on with it: after all that's what you paid for it to do.
It would be unproductive if end-users flooded their ISPs' abuse reporting channels with indiscriminate firewall logs. If a probe was blocked by your firewall, then it might not have caused you sufficient grief to justify you reporting it as abuse.
