Thanks!

This was VERY helpful, as is the URL below.

I believe that I will continue to extract password info (as previously 
mentioned) just to have all that info in a separate secure location.

It seems as if the new profile is working 99.9% as well as the old one 
used to. The only thing I've noticed which is not working is the "Visit 
Homepage" button in Synaptic, which returns error boxes containing the 
following text.

Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

3 times in a row.

Thanks again everyone!

Here is output returned when FF is started,with the old profile, from a 
terminal.

When FF was launched and then exited immediately, nothing used to 
happen. Now, for some reason the same 'Gecko_IOThread' error is coming up.

However, if loading a URL is attempted, this comes up in the terminal.

udvarias at Merry:~$ firefox

Tried loading a URL in a new tab. (One that used to work perfectly and 
still does in the new profile.)

The page requested doesn't load, and nothing's written to the terminal.

When the tab is closed, the output below is written to the terminal.

Pressing Ctrl-Shift-Delete to clear ALL history causes the following 
output to be written to the terminal.

Finally, exiting FF sent this to the terminal.

I've now done this repeatedly. The number following the word 'Parent' 
changes, as does the number following the words 'pipe error.' However, 
all the rest is identical, in particular the 'line' number.

My apologies for not sending this earlier, I was rather preoccupied with 
getting FF up and running again amongst other things. It's been a really 
hectic week.

BTW. When I removed 'Chromium' just now I found the file I'd created 
regarding the removal of 'xul-ext-ubufox.' I removed it literally the 
day before all this start, could that have caused the problem?

I've now replaced it, but the problem with the old profile persists.
