I also don't see stuff like popt in the dependency list. DEPEND="virtual/libc" http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual//general-concepts/dependencies/ libc is part of system There maybe more but you being more familiar with firefox can probably find the problems more easily.

Ok. Now my checkdeps.rb script should do just direct deps: betelgeuse@pena ~/toucan/public_html/scripts $ checkdeps.rb mozilla-firefox-bin qfile -qC liblinc.so.1 returned a non zero value. qfile -qC libgnome-2.so.0 returned a non zero value. dev-libs/atk dev-libs/glib gnome-base/gconf gnome-base/gnome-vfs gnome-base/libbonobo gnome-base/orbit media-libs/fontconfig media-libs/freetype || app-office/openoffice-bin sys-devel/gcc || app-office/openoffice-bin sys-libs/glibc sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin || mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird || app-office/openoffice-bin x11-libs/gtk+ x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXext x11-libs/libXft x11-libs/libXrender x11-libs/libXt x11-libs/pango
shouldn't virtual/libstc++-3.3 be added to the x86 part of the dependency list only? I _guess_ it's already provided by >=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.0 for amd64... and firefox seems to work fine without it.
Has been fixed quite some time ago...
