This bug is really about having a Portage version dependency in the mozilla
ebuild. I encountered the same problem some time ago, after the DEPEND="foo? bar
: oni" USE flag format was introduced in Portage. Can't remember exactly which
version that was, but you can always check
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-src/portage/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
for a full ChangeLog. Mozilla maintainer: care to add the missing dependency?

What is the missing dependancy? Where should I add it?

I found my problem. I had an old version of portage (1.9 something). After 
upgrading to 2.0, the problem went away. I got the old version from the stage 
three tarball. You might want to tell people to upgrade portage (or even 
upgrade world) after they install gentoo.

Well, your problem is solved, but the bug isn't fixed until the Portage
dependency is added. I'll reopen so Azarah doesn't forget ;)

Should be fixed.
