Yes, -O* are removed from CFLAGS, because firefox uses
special .mozconfig option for -O* flags:
mozconfig_annotate "Gentoo's default optimization" --enable-optimize=-O2
emerge --info is not accurate here, as it can't handle non-trivial
stuff like mozconfig.
Actually -O2 is default and if you want only this option, you may
do nothing, since it is enabled by default.
If you have any further doubts, please provide a full build.log
(compress it or place somewhere outside of the list and provide
a link). Though you should see -O2 yourself there:
==========================================================
Building firefox-47.0 with the following configuration
--enable-application=browser mozilla.org default
--enable-optimize=-O2 Gentoo's default optimization
as well as in gcc commands below.
