[PC-BSD Testing] FIrefox 5 very buggy

[Ken Moore]

Make sure that when you revert, you do not first remove all your setting 
when uninstalling FF5. In order to revert and keep all your settings, I 
usually just leave the current version alone, and when installing the 
new PBI it asks if it can overwrite the currently installed version, to 
which I say yes. I have never had a problem with losing my settings when 
doing it this way.
