if you did
then your executable is
/usr/bin/mozilla
and since it's in the path, all you have to do is type mozilla to get it running. you can also add mozilla to your kde menu by rightclicking the "K" and goign to "menu editor". the menu editor interface is self-explanatory. just make an icon for mozilla and put /usr/bin/mozilla as the command. hopefully that helps.

if you don't know what executable is associated with a particular ebuild, it's no problem. all you need is the "etcat" utility which is part of the gentoolkit package. first emerge the package:
etcat can tell you many things about a package. let's say you just downloaded foo with
to find out what the executable is just type
| Code: | | etcat files foo | grep /bin/ |
and your output will be something like
| Code: |
/usr/bin/file1
/usr/bin/file2
...
|
voila.
do a
to find out what else this puppy can do.

Are you sure the emerge completed successfully?
Try:
| Code: | find /usr -iname *firebird*
find /usr -iname *mozilla* |
You'll probably get a bunch of directories as well, but the executable name should be somewhere in the list if it's installed. |

| uhm, did you by any chance emerge the binary version of MozillaFirebird (net-www/mozilla-firebird-bin)? if you did, your exectuable is not going to be in /usr/bin, but in /opt/MozillaFirebird/ instead. maybe this will help??? |

Are you really sure you emerged it?
Try | Code: | | emerge -C MozillaFirebird |
and check if your system wants to uninstall it. If if does so, use CTRL+C to stop it.
I think you didn't emerge it properly - how long did the emerge take? |
