..and in case anyone is wondering what the issue was, the problem was a
filename handling change that basically caused all .xpt files (XPCOM type
libraries) failing to load when there where symlinks in paths to one of
them - like the ones from addons when /home is a symlink like it usually
is on FreeBSD - and thus ff couldn't start. Here is the mozilla ticket:
