removing relative parts in ebuild solvs the problem for me :) (hint: don't forget 'ebuild /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-3.5.5.ebuild digest' after editing the ebuild)
* The specific snippet of code: * use sparc && sed -e 's/Firefox/FirefoxGentoo/g' -i "${D}/${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}/application.ini" || die "sparc sed failed" ... typical case of missing braces or similar... -> only sparc can install ff 3.5.5
already fixed in CVS.
