anyone else seeing this?

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).

Anyone have a clue why?
