Some other package installed net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.6 on my system and eventually I tried to install the www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.19 package as I prefer that browser. It failed because two files had collisions. Those files were... /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/default/autoconfig/platform.js /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/default/autoconfig/prefcalls.js That was before I got everything up and running. My config has changed and I don't have a direct copy of the build errors or config files at that moment. I believe I didn't have either "xulrunner" or "firefox" in my USE variable list. Or if one was added it would have been "firefox".

Is there any *good* reason you aren't using firefox 3 ?
The point of my question is in the note here: https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2008/12/18/firefox-20020-now-available-for-download/
Because that isn't the version that was given when I did "emerge mozilla-firefox" on x86. I assume v3 won't be a new package name. So it must still be marked unstable...
How long ago did sync for the last time ? Or perhaps you've package masked it ? Cause first to go stable was mozilla-firefox 3.0.5 on 23 Dec 2008.
Of course, the whole time I'm not saying "this bug is invalid", perhaps it's not. Oh, and I did miss the timestamp line in your comment. So, you have most probably masked it.
I've been having issues on this install. Missing example/sample conf files. I did a sync or two and I've only had the system up for a week. On top of downloading the current snapshot when I started. Not at home now, but will try a new sync when I get back. Maybe remove the mirror list from mirrorselect too
Aha! Looks like some gnome stuff is requiring firefox-2*. After an "emerge-puD world" I get... ... !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: www-client/mozilla-firefox:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.6', 'merge') pulled in by www-client/mozilla-firefox required by world ('installed', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.19', 'nomerge') pulled in by =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('installed', '/', 'www-client/epiphany-2.22.3-r2', 'nomerge') =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('installed', '/', 'gnome-extra/yelp-2.22.1-r2', 'nomerge') (and 1 more) ... Not sure what to do about this then. Is it in gnome's court to move to a newer version in stable? And for the record I haven't masked anything.
You should be able to get gnome to use xulrunner Add to USE=”-firefox xulrunner” emerge -puND world
Please try David's suggestion. If it still doesn't work, re-open this bug.
