Don,
If you cannot see this attachment I will mail to you.  It basically says it
cannot read startup configuration file---missing ';' before statement. This is a
generated file! Do not edit
and 'error in preference file, will use default prefs'

This was weird.  The error was on a line in the prefs.js file that I don't
touch.  Accepting the bug but I'm not really sure it's mine.  The fix may be
checked in today.

I removed mulitple calls to PREF_SavePrefFile.  This had the effect of cleaning
up the prefs.js file.  I then ran a migrated profile and got no errors.
Methinks is fixed.
