[gentoo-user] firefox upgrade-downgrade problem

[Grant]

I upgraded to the ~x86 firefox and it had some stability issues so I
downgraded again.  Now when I run firefox in a terminal it outputs
this:

Extension System Warning: Failed to set up default extensions files
probably because you do not have write privileges to this location.
While you can run Firefox like this, it is recommended that you run it
at least once with privileges that allow it to generate these initial
files to improve start performance. Running from a disk image on MacOS
X is not recommended.

over and over again, doesn't ever start firefox, and pegs the CPU at
100%.  Ctrl+C in the terminal does not stop it.  I tried deleting my
.mozilla folder and a new one is being created.  Does anyone know how
to fix this?

Upgrading to 1.0.8 fixed this.
