Based on a few ideas from other bugs I've seen I totally removed my ~/.mozilla
directory (actually I just renamed it) and this problem goes away.

Based on a few other bugs I've had (and their quick resolution by starting w/o a
~/.mozilla dir) it seems as if it doesn't import settings from Mozilla 1.7.x
properly.

Prior config was Gentoo Linux/Gnome 2.6/Mozilla 1.7.3
