Well, so try with a fresh profile and without any plugins. Works perfectly fine here.

I just installed gentoo 2007.0 not long ago, like 2 days ago and it installed firefox during emerge gnome-light and only plugins i have in firefox is flash but i did it without using the USE flags.

Well, as said above - create a *new* profile and try there. Also try with mozilla-firefox-bin if it still doesn't work.
