might try mv .mozilla .moz-backup
and then try starting it again.

The slightly more painful operation might be to upgrade
the whole dependancy tree under firefox/t-b.

I think this would be:
portupgrade -ufR firefox* or summat (I'm fairly certain
from the original post that you've portupgrade installed).

Note that 1.5.0.1 works as advertised here, and I don't
use dunndarbrydde.
