There's a bug related to this.¹ Until recently, Firefox with USE="bindist" did just result in an unbranded Firefox, but now it results in an unbranded Firefox which also behaves significantly differently than branded Firefox. I suspect this has to do with upstream's move to allowing only Mozilla-signed extensions in branded Firefoxes, whereas unsigned extensions will continue to work in unbranded Firefoxes,² but I haven't tried to get to the details. 1 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536682 2 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Addons/Extension_Signing
