I tried this before upgrade to 0.9, I found workaround for this and
included in Makefile.

pre-install:
	${CP} -r ${WRKSRC}/dist/bin/defaults/profile/extensions \
							${WRKSRC}/dist/bin
	${MV} ${WRKSRC}/dist/bin/extensions/installed-extensions.txt \
		${WRKSRC}/dist/bin/extensions/installed-extensions-processed.txt

But that's not enough.
I couldn't find real solution and blindly add 'run as root' message to
MESSAGE.

Today, I found compreg.dat should not be shared between firefox and
firefox-gtk2.
Running as root is not necessary.
firefox 0.9 creates compreg.dat under user profile directory.
Components of both firefox & firefox-gtk2 are registered in
compreg.dat.
I will change MESSAGE as follows:

If you have ever run another version of firefox or firefox-gtk2, you
must remove compreg.dat under your firefox profile before you run firefox.

     e.g. rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/compreg.dat
