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.
