firefox creates .mozilla dir with garbage inside

[Mike Hunter]

Hi,

I'm still having problems after upgrading firefox last week.  It wouldn't
import my old .mozilla dir, so I tried mv'ing that dir someplace else and
letting it start from scratch.  When I say I want to "import nothing" it
creates a .mozilla with the following in it (which is control characters,
so it's hard to even express what the heck it is):

% ls .mozilla | less
<E8>^C'(
<E8>^C'( <D7><BF>
<E8>^C'(p<DA><BF>
<E8>^C'(<90><D4><BF>
<E8>^C'(<90><D6><BF>
<E8>^C'(<D0><D9><BF>

% ls .mozilla | xxd 
0000000: e803 2728 0ae8 0327 2820 d7bf 0ae8 0327  ..'(...'( .....'
0000010: 2870 dabf 0ae8 0327 2890 d4bf 0ae8 0327  (p.....'(......'
0000020: 2890 d6bf 0ae8 0327 28d0 d9bf 0a         (......'(....

There seems to be good stuff INSIDE the wacky directories:

Smells like internationalization or something.  As I mentioned in a
previous email, portupgrade is broken on my system so I had to fish around
for which ports needed to be upgraded by hand to get the firefox port to
build successfully.  Any thoughts on what I might be missing?

FreeBSD foo 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #1: Wed May 11 12:05:39 PDT 2005
root at foo:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/foo  i386

PORTNAME=       firefox
DISTVERSION=    1.5
PORTREVISION=   5
PORTEPOCH=      1

Thanks!
