You probably put mozilla-firefox in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, since you say that you tried to use -bin and xulrunner instead of it, presumably as a dependency of another package. If you did, there's no portage bug here, and you need to remove the entry.
grep -Rni firefox /etc/portage/ and post the output, please.

Dupe.
