I didn't read the output you provided : it clearly shows binary
packages for www-client/firefox
The main difference with the -bin package is on keywords :
www-client/firefox-128.7.0 amd64
www-client/firefox-135.0 ~amd64 <= unstable
www-client/firefox-bin-128.7.0 amd64
www-client/firefox-bin-135.0 amd64 <= stable
