1 I'm running firefox 3.0.14 on my gentoo x86 laptop. I'd like to upgrade to 3.5, which I'm using on other non-gentoo systems. A quick google search (gentoo firefox 3.5) showed that 3.5 was unmasked months ago; yet checking my local portage (emerge --search firefox) only reveals 3.0.14 as the latest; nothing in /etc/portage/package.* reveals any local masking to hide 3.5.

3 Looking on-line shows that 3.5.4 should be unmasked:

37 Which clearly shows it's masked for x86...what's up?
38 I synced portage and it's still masked; I checked my local portage mirror (I run a rsync mirror for my own network since I have 3 computers running gentoo) and it's masked there too. (The mirror is sync'd daily; I only sync the other two systems as I need.)
39
40 What do I need to do to resolve this?
