--exclude-from=file is a better option as not only you can exclude
mozilla but also lot of other patterns that are not really needed for
backup. Contents of my exclude file are:
*OpenOffice*
*Desktop*
*evolution*
.*
*.exe
*.dll
*.sys
*.ini
*.com
*.EXE
*.DLL
*.SYS
*.INI
*.COM
*windows*
*.CAB
*.cab

This way we are able to cut down on rsync even when doing it for servers
that are serving win clients.
