And what are your USE flags for those packages?
emerge -pv mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

As you see, the "gnome" USE flag is what enables gnome-vfs (as an
*optional* dependency, based on the enabling or disabling of that flag),
The same goes for Thunderbird.
So try disabling the "gnome" USE flag-- you might want to do so globally
(in /etc/make.conf), if you don't use GNOME at all, and then run an
emerge -uaDNtv world to recompile all installed apps without GNOME support.
Hope this helps,
Holly
