[SOLVED, I hope] Xfce and Firefox "renewed" by shutdown

I closed all the apps, exited X and turned the box off # shutdown -h now

On booting the next day, xfce was reset to "just installed" status (all settings gone) and Firefox was brand new, welcoming me for the "first" time -- no bookmarks.  I never saw the like.  It's no train wreck, but....

EDIT:

OK, that's bizarre.  In spite of the fact that I did everything as always, another login to the GUI in Arch produced a restored xfce and Firefox.  Even the bookmarks are back.  I can't explain it, but I'm not going to refuse the help of the resident Poltergeist.  Now: how do I keep him friendly?
