I committed updated ebuilds earlier today with the new "archive.mozilla.org" url, but as gentoo has just migratred the repository from CVS to git I don't know if there will be any further delay in those changes getting to end-users via the usual 'emerge --sync' or not..  

IN the meantine, you can do:

cd ${DISTDIR:-/usr/portage/distfiles}
emerge -pf firefox \
|sed -e 's#ftp://ftp.mozilla#http://archive.mozilla#g' \
|wget -i -
