I rebuilt my laptop yesterday after an 'incident' (tip of the week; don't mix up ad0 and da0) and rsynced bacx /etc /home and /root, then pkg_add -r'ed my way back to a desktop without too much bother. But firefox (latest one with the hole, 1.0.7mumblemumble) refuses to use the old ~/.mozilla/firefox profile folder, instead it creates 4 new ones with gibberish names (start with .h and then unprintable characters).
