First find out, what the executable is. 
On my system it is /usr/firefox/firefox-bin.

Then do

	 ldd <path to the executable>/<the executable> | less

.

"firefox" itsself is only a starter.

Good success!

run revdep-rebuild and everything that needs recompiled will be done.

if you just want to know the reverse dependencies go to 
http://gentoo-portage.com and search for firefox, down below the 
different firefox versions which are in portage you can see the button 
reverse deps.
this will also show you what is linked against firefox.
here you have to check what you have installed and which use flag 
settings you have applied
for instance gnome-extra/yelp only depends on firefox if the firefox 
useflag is enabled

Is there another way?  The current version of revdep-rebuild does not
work well on more than one of my systems, - the bugfix for one problem I
can identify is in cvs and is not yet available on stable.  Thats if you
trust it in any case - I have good reason to treat it with suspicion on
older systems.
