27 No, it's not just arch masked. It's masked in package.mask. So
28 simply using a keyword unmask won't work.

30 And you're portage does have it. Give this a try -
31
32 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -av =mozilla-firefox-3.5
33
34
35 But it's not going to let you install it without you doing
36 some work to unmask the package.
