What is my best option to back down to the last 2.X of firefox? It
appears version 3 does not have compatibility with several addons
that I like to use (sitebar being the main one).
Is it best done in .../package.provided or some other way?

It's not slotted so you can have only one:
echo '>=www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge mozilla-firefox
Remove the entry from package.mask when you feel firefox-3.0 is good
enough for your needs

Not slotted, but you can have both.

Iff one does not block the other when you emerge. Which is pretty much
probable.
