as mentioned by others here FF 54 uses now some code written in Rust, so |
| 9 |
USE="-rust" could not build the browser. |

There is actually rust-bin in the tree - we just have to push our maintainers |
| 20 |
a bit to use it =) |

I guess the best workaround for you would be copying the firefox ebuild from |
| 25 |
tree to a local overlay[1], bumping it to -r1 and renaming the dependency |
| 26 |
>=dev-lang/rust-1.15.1 to >=dev-lang/rust-1.15.1-bin. |

If the compilations works fine & and the compiled firefox runs well a small |
| 29 |
message plus the output of "emerge --info firefox rust" in the bugreport could |
| 30 |
be useful aswell. |

Hope that helps while waiting for a proper fix. |
