Well, that should be easy enough.  To add to Stefan's reply.  In
package.use, just put this:


www-client/firefox -l10n_en-GB 


Note the minus sign in front.  O_O  And then either use equery or emerge -pv or -av firefox to see if it is going to apply like you want.  That should work unless I'm missing something.  Oh, if you already have a line for firefox, make sure you add to the existing line.  I've found having two lines for the same packages can behave in a weird way.  I think it confuses emerge.
