Many (but not all) of this type of package can be built against xulrunner instead of firefox/seamonkey. Some do it automatically and some need the USE flags to be set up this way. Get rid of any firefox or seamonkey use flags and add +xulrunner use flag and see what a emerge with --newuse wants to do.
