Just through laziness I use the precompiled firefox and lastpass wants to install firefox if you have the firefox use flag on. Could it look for firefox-bin as well or make a firefox-bin use flag? Thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge lastpass with firefox-bin installed and it will want to compile firefox. Actual Results: tries to build firefox from source Expected Results: see firefox-bin is installed and use that as dependency.
Shouldn't web browser extensions be installed through the web browser in question, by the user in question?

That was considered by me in the original ebuild (where I did not install the Firefox extension but put the required plugin so) but the extension is perfectly disable-able in the user interface. The extension is not useless without the native plugin but native support is not present without it of course. Copy and paste is the main feature that does not work without the native plugin. Also, if you have multiple profiles (like me) the plugin gets added to all which is very useful IMO.

I agree the ebuild should be modified to not require firefox but allow either firefox or firefox-bin (an easy change). However, I do not know if the ebuild will not install the plugin in a recognised place for the binary version of Firefox. It installs the plugin like so: /opt/lastpass/nplastpass64 /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/extensions/support@lastpass.com/ /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libnplastpass64.so Does the binary version of Firefox look at this plugin directory? I am pretty certain it installs itself in /opt/, where it might sandbox itself slightly and only look in /opt/firefox/browser/extensions instead. This is also not a hard modification to make in the ebuild but an extra detail.

Looks like we will need a separate use flag for the -bin.
Starting with lastpass-4, the firefox plug-in can be directly downloaded from the website. The installation script does not install the xpi file anymore. I have proposed to drop firefox support because of this but added support for opera. See: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1139
