I can not reproduce your bug.

Do you have any overlays installed?
If so, is there a firefox ebuild in one, and does it have a metadata.xml file in it?

[Comment 3 Zoltan Puskas 2020-08-01 19:52:58 UTC]

Gentoolkit version is no longer available, in fact gentoolkit is now Python 3 only. Said Firefox ebuild versions are also long gone.
