Description Xi 2012-10-25 13:28:51 UTC 
In the file "firefox-bin-16.0.1.ebuild", the file download location is set to a ftp server:

e.g. ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-16.0.1.tar.bz2

This is very slow if the user is out side of USA.

Please change the download the location to the Moizlla CDN:

e.g. http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-16.0.1.tar.bz2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge firefox-bin
2. observer the download speed
3.

ftp is used for a reason, we need to have access to the file even when mozilla has discontinued the support of it.
