I "think" the only version which still doesn't is 52.9.0 and <60 versions been masked for a year for having multiple vulnerabilities. Time to just remove?
Firefox versions >=61 use both Python 2 and Python 3 in different parts of build system. See bug #662456. It is not yet possible to build Firefox using only Python 3.
The bug that describes the issue of building firefox with Python 3 is now marked as resolved. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388447

That mozilla bug says "We both 1) support and 2) require Python 3 to build Firefox today. I'm closing this bug as complete in light of that." as of a month ago. Any idea which version of firefox that will actually apply to? I still get that firefox-79.0 requires python:2.7.

indeed firefox >= 78 does no longer need python2.
emerge -pc python:2.7 gives me Calculating dependencies... done! dev-lang/python-2.7.18-r1 pulled in by: www-client/firefox-79.0 requires dev-lang/python:2.7[ncurses,sqlite,ssl,threads(+)] and five other packages.

Thanks. I thought I was losing it, and wondered if portage had something stuck in its throat. I don't know if this is relevant, but "emerge --info firefox" includes the line BOOTSTRAP_USE="unicode internal-glib pkg-config split-usr python_targets_python3_7 python_targets_python2_7 multilib" and all other mentions of python are just 3_7. I have no idea where that comes from, however.
The plan is to do that with new eclasses when also moving to EAPI 7. I have no plans to change current eclasses.

In a local overlay, copying the eclass over, incrementing it to mozcoreconfv7, and replacing python2_7 with python3_7? also requires removing the now-defunct "threads" useflag. Editing the firefox ebuild to remove this defunct useflag as a requirement of python is also required. This causes firefox to build, and to function appropriately. I am using it to submit this report. However, attempting to remove the defunct python package has me rebuilding spidermonkey - an error entirely of my own. I After looking at the latest security reports on this bugzilla, I am choosing to increment to 78.3.0 for the spidermonkey build. This build went without a hitch - even the existing patches applied for spidermonkey-78.2.0 seem to apply just as well as with their intended target. No edits were applied to this ebuild, aside from renaming and placing in the local overlay. I will be reusing my modified ebuild for firefox-80.0.1-"r2" to install firefox-81.0 I will report back after attempting a firefox build - I have a simpler backup webbrowser.
my local/python2-less "=www-client/firefox-80.0.1-r2" is re-built against the spidermonkey-78.3.0. And python2 disappears after 'emerge --depclean'. The browser is functioning as intended. The old (python2.7) version of spidermonkey was required by polkit - adding a keyword for a newer version of sys-auth/polkit addresses this need.
