as mentioned by others here FF 54 uses now some code written in Rust, so USE="-rust" could not build the browser. > It really takes a long time to compile rust, and I do not want to add > such a burden to my system compilation time. > > Does anyone knows why?

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