I had a similar problem on SuSE9.1 with KDE.

I had to start the Firefox twice to bring up the profile manager.

Then i deleted the profile that i did not want.

Final step was to go into the .mozilla/firefox and deleted a file called lock.

Restart Firefox and it should bring back your original profile.
