On to your next issue where 2 versions of firefox are being pulled in. First of all you need to remove the package.mask entry you added, since it masked out all versions of firefox above 2.0.0 - that includes both firefox 2 and firefox 3 - not particularly useful.

The correct resolution here is not obvious. You need to edit your /etc/make.conf and set "-firefox xulrunner". This is because a core piece of the mozilla framework, on which firefox is built, called xulrunner has been split out from the firefox package. This will help to avoid issues in the future and allow for faster upgrades. This change should get all applications using firefox 3 instead of firefox 2.

Please, help me to understand more about this.
firefox use flag is for version 2 and xulrunner is for version 3 ?
 

That worked fine!
