I don't know all the reasons, and I am not a developer. But from what I
can tell several older ebuilds still in the portage tree that depend on
mozilla like nautilus, galeon, evolution etc. use it to find where
mozilla is at for things like linking, etc. For the newest versions of
those packages, however, it is no longer being used. And up-to-date
versions of galeon, evolution and mozilla all seem to work fine without
it being set.
