I had a bad problem with the firefox profile manager about a year ago and I decided that the devs at mozilla are not maintaining that code any more, so I stopped using the profile manager. Firefox/mozilla is a very old project with limited resources. The current developers are working full speed on security updates, which is good, but there is a lot of bitrot in their huge codebase. I think you will continue to have intermittent (maybe even rare) problems if you continue to use firefox profiles. (If you use the profile manager to delete the bad profile you may wind up deleting all of your profiles, which is exactly what happened to me.) (You should keep a backup of your ~/.mozilla directory if you continue to use firefox profiles.)
