I got the same problem once when I was working on mozilla and due to some
power problem the system suddenly boots up and when I again started
mozilla it gave me the same user profile problem and then I solve it as
follows:
There is a .mozilla directory in ur home directory go to that. This will
contain all the user profile which u have made for ur mozilla to work
with. Then go to the directory of ur profile( the one that is creating the
user profile problem). This dirsctory in turn again contins another one go
into that one.Here when u do ls -l u will see some files and directories.
There will be a file(which will be blinking) of name lock and that will
representing a link towards the loopback address. This lock file will be
created whenever u opens ur browser for a particular profile and whenever
u exists normally it will automatically remove but on accidently closing
mozilla it remains there and then creating problem whenever u start it
again. Thus removing this file using rm perhaps will solve ur problem
because it has solved for mine.
