Yet, a week ago, I updated my system without any problem but just now, trying to update my system, I have got the following error message:

However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. !!! The following installed packages are masked: - www-client/opera-12.16_p1860-r1::gentoo (masked by: OPERA-12 license(s)) A copy of the 'OPERA-12' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/OPERA-12'.

Does it mean that I should use -gstreamer use flag while compiling firefox? Will it be possible to see youtube videos in FF, if I compile it without gstreamer?
