Thank you, I added firefox and xulrunner to package.keywords and that did
the trick.

You might want to periodically run eix-test-obsolete -d to see if the
two packages get marked stable before some other new ~arch version
comes out. If that happens, and it often does in my experience, then
you can remove the two packages from portage.keywords and you're back
to running stable.
In general I tend to have 4 or 5 packages in package.keywords at any
given time. I don't have too much trouble. Watch out if the list
starts getting large though as things get messy and you'll find
yourself doing more updates than maybe you want to be doing.
good luck,

Thanks for the tip and the help, I'll make sure to keep that list short.
The only program I have this kind problem with is firefox, though, with
everything else I can get by with an older version. It's really becuase
Mozilla doesn't really support the older versions. Oh well, it will be
fixed eventually.
