That's a pretty good guess.

I hope so, too -- because that's what I tried.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten far enough to see if anything was lost,
because now Firefox 3.5.x won't start:

    Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 986 in file
    /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 2)

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should do with this?
