do you have started mozilla-firefox or mozilla-firefox-bin?! the compiled
mozilla-firefox starts with mozilla-firefox while the 32bit precompiled with
mozilla-firefox-bin. use the lauch or the console to start the compiled
version. after starting they both have the same process name (firefox-bin)
and cannot be used at the same time in the same userspace.
recompile firefox with a language option. i don't see any language
compiled.... try setting this into make.conf:

LINGUAS="en en_GB en_US xxxx" where xxxx is your localization and then
rebuild firefox. the linguas will then build all the future packages that
build localization for your system. (it may not be needed but it's good to
have a system localized and stripped of other useless linguas.)
if it says it needs flash8 then flash9 is not loaded as an extension. see
the nspluginwrapper part to add the extension. maybe you could have to
manually link the the plugin into the mozilla directory plugins if
nspluginwrapper cannot do it.
after that you restart firefox and try youtube. if it makes you see the
videos then java and flash are working. if you miss the audio then recompile
the emul-x86 of alsa.
