$ equery depends mozilla-firefox
[ Searching for packages depending on mozilla-firefox... ]
app-misc/beagle-0.3.7-r1 (firefox? >=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5)
app-office/openoffice-2.4.1 (!xulrunner & firefox?
=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
media-video/vlc-0.8.6i (nsplugin & !xulrunner & !seamonkey?
=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
net-news/liferea-1.4.15 (!xulrunner & firefox? =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.45 (=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
kazehahase-0.5.0 (=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
As Zhou Rui says, I could fix this by adding xulrunner to the use flags
for openoffice, vlc, and liferea. I think that would work for
mplayerplug-in also, at least if I move to mplayerplug-in-3.50 (~x86).
kazehahase may also be satisfied with xulrunner; I'm not sure. I'd
forgotten I had it installed, so I might as well just get rid of it.
