That would attempt to copy the xxxxxxxxx.default directory to the firefox
directory.
There was a thread a week ago titled "How to get the last folder name?" which
should solve this problem for you.

The person had one mistake that was corrected by Matt Benson, he should have
used "${toString:_lastname}" in order to convert to a property.
So your code would become something like the following:
<path id="path.firefox.default.profile">
<dirset dir="${firefox.dir}">
<!--
I'm assumming that to avoid getting a directory below
the profile directory, that sort will return the results
in the order of the shortest path.
-->
<first>
<sort>
<include name="**/*.default" />
</sort>
</first>
</dirset>
</path>
<property name="firefox.default.profile.dir"
location="${toString:path.firefox.default.profile}" />
<copy todir="${firefox.default.profile.dir}" >
<fileset dir="${apps.dir}/Firefox" >
<include name="prefs.js" />
</fileset>
</copy>
This is untested and just constructed based on the person saying that it worked
after making the changes suggested.
