I was insufficiently precise.. Change
user_pref("browser.history_file", "/mit/jhawk/.netscape/history.db");
user_pref("browser.user_history_file", "/mit/jhawk/.netscape/history.list");
in prefs.js to point to a something that indirects through @sys.
(I assume that they're pointing at my .netsacpe directory because
my profile was converted from there...).
