I should add that it applies clean but I am still in the process of building and testing.
Builds and runs fine on my end.

I believe `firefox-bin` still needs to explicitly depend on `libXcursor` and `libXi` - emerging the current ebuild on Wayland gives me: ``` * QA Notice: Unresolved soname dependencies: * * /opt/firefox/libxul.so: libXcursor.so.1 libXi.so.6 * ``` I think explicitly depending on `libXcursor` and `libXi` would be preferable to depending on gtk+3[X], as then you would avoid pulling in the rest of the gtk+3[X] dependencies on Wayland.
