You're right of course, Eli. I went away and did something else for a while,
then came back and did two things: 1. Made an entry in package.env; 2. Removed
the package.use firefox line.
So I now have 'L10N="en-GB en"' in make.conf, 'www-client/firefox
nol10n.conf' in package.env, 'L10N="en"' in env/nol10n.conf and nothing in
package.use.
All is now well.
