Hmm, from the top of my head...

So you did install botstrap/firefox, and it finished successful, right?

IIRC this bug indicates, that either Mozilla/Firefox or at least some of its
libs have been installed system wide. How positive are you, that there is *no*
Mozilla thingy installed by Gentoo?

Also IIRC, last time I tried to hunt this down for others... Some info I found
mentioned that there actually is some moz config file on the system, that is
being picked up. Don't recall which one it was, but it may even be in the users
$HOME directory. [1]

What user are you building as? Does he have a ~/.mozilla dir? If so, try
renaming that dir (be careful, and do not delete it).


Caveat:  All the above is straight from memory only... ;)


[1] Some distro even put a line in the Mozilla install "script", to remove all
these particula config files in all users $HOME dirs. Which is quite nasty, to
say the least.
