I found that eventually, but it had FF locked up totally for about 20 minutes
each time I selected a different directory tree, it seems to scan needlessly
for each time a new directory is stepped into or out of, before iot is
actually selected. So I was nominally 2 hours worth of screwing around in
finding the right tree. I haven't removed it, and it appears to have settled
down now.
