>Description:
After installing the GMarks add-on from

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2888/

and quitting firefox, the browser cannot be restarted. After 
deleting extensions.ini from the configuration directory, firefox will start 
again (without extensions, though).

I have this problem with firefox-3.6.3 and firefox-3.6.8 on NetBSD/amd64, but 
not on any other OS (Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris 10). Older versions of firefox 
had no problem with this add-on on NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
install www/firefox and the add-on, quit firefox and try to restart
