Is it necessary to use the Ubuntu branded Firefox? What, if any, are
the advantages or benefits of using it over the generic package?

Not necessary.* I haven't noticed any benefits vs the generic Firefox package (Ubuntu 10.10)

From the xul-ext-ubufox package description:
"Adds Ubuntu-specific modifications to Firefox.
Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
* Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
* Add the following options to the Help menu
- Get help on-line
- Help translating Firefox
- Ubuntu Release Notes
* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
* Add ask.com to the search engines.
You can uninstall this if you prefer to use a pristine Firefox
install."

Can anyone explain why it takes so long for Firefox-bin to be unmasked?
That's not intended to be a rant or finger-pointing, but a serious question. I
can certainly understand the issues involved with ensuring that a complex
package compiles on various systems with all sorts of different drivers and
set-ups. But the -bin package is a precompiled binary that's merely
installed. It seems like it should be pretty simple and straightforward to
ensure that it works and unmask it.
Firefox just released 5.0 and announced that all development, including bug
fixes and security updates, had halted on 4.0. They plan to hold to similar
short-release cycles in the future. It's been four months since 4.0 was
released and it's still masked. If future releases see similar delays in
unmasking, Gentoo users will soon be two or three versions behind. We'll be
forced to either manually install, unmask the masked package, or run a
potentially buggy, insecure version. Any insight into the delay of unmasking
the binary verion that would help me understand the issue greatly appreciated.

Have you gone to bugs.gentoo.org and submitted a stabilization request?
