We dont recommend removing profiles that way nor removing Firefox.
Removing profile that way will remove all bookmarks and saved stuff in
other Mozilla apps except Thunderbird as that makes its own profile
either ~/.thunderbird or ~/.mozilla-thunderbird depending on version.
this issue was most likely caused by a corrupt profile another way to
test this would have been to rename the firefox profile and starting
with a clean one by starting firefox after renaming profile the correct
way to do this is listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs
