It's always better to move to something wrapped in <somevariable> other
than .bak. I recomend moving to something like x-.mozilla-x rather than
.mozilla.bak. I forget the exact reason now, but I seem to remember that
some mozilla chrome/jar/plugins didn't respect the rename and would run
anyway. Also, renaming it that way makes it easy to find later.
