there's a small issue with upgrading. a package containing older shared
libraries is left behind, and it causes stuff like

./regxpcom:/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/components/libpipnss.so.19.0:
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/libssl3.so.18.0 : WARNING:
symbol(SSL_ImplementedCiphers) size mismatch, relink your program
mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.1 (installing): complete

moreover, firefox fails to start until you have removed those libraries
(e.g. pkg_delete .libs-mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.9).
i feel a lot of questions coming from people who upgrade their packages
and 'firefox does not work'. so maybe this should at least be mentioned
somewhere?

$ firefox
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin:/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/components/libpipnss.so.19.0:
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/libssl3.so.18.0 : WARNING:
symbol(SSL_ImplementedCiphers) size mismatch, relink your program
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin:/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/components/libpipnss.so.19.0:
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/libssl3.so.18.0 : WARNING:
symbol(SSL_ImplementedCiphers) size mismatch, relink your program
/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin:/usr/local/mozilla-firefox/components/libpipnss.so.19.0:
undefined symbol 'SEC_RegisterDefaultHttpClient'
lazy binding failed!

oh, it also wanted to open a non-existent page on startup
