I've had problems with Firefox and Thunderbird recently. Both are Mozilla products, and they've been doing things differently lately (some kind of "rapid development" crap).

I solved all my recent FF and TB problems by getting rid of "firefox" and "thunderbird" and emerging "firefox-bin" and "thunderbird-bin".

I had similar problems with unmasked firefox after uninstall and rebuild.

Check last output in emerge. Possible firefox was not installed after emerging.
When I manually delete broken links in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and broken links in firefox location to java plugin manually and then rebuild - problem solved.
This is strange issue and seems as bug.

Also this fixed another strange problems with firefox.
