Unzipping the nightlies on top of an old build may leave junk around. It
also will probably not give Mozilla any reason to re-register components to
discover any new things that were added that day. Delete component.reg each
time, or use the -installer flag. There won't be any problems re-migrating
your profiles, Mozilla knows which ones it has migrated.
