Hi,

I'm not sure if I missed something here but removing the packages from
the world-file (/var/lib/portage/world) should work.
Also you could emerge them using the --oneshot option in the first place
to avoid adding them to the world-file.

However are you really sure you want to exclude packages with frequent
security-issues like firefox and the kernel from being updated?
