I guess there was some corruption in your original profile, that is why the new profile works just fine. It is really very tedious for a non-firefox developer to figure out what had gone awry in your profile. Perhaps you might wish to tar and bzip your original .mozilla directory and file a bug with bugzilla.mozilla.org (you need to open an account), and attach the tar file to the bug. Of course, you might want to NOT include your history and your bookmarks, as those are your private data. Good luck - perhaps they can tell you what went wrong in your profile.
