A Firefox profile directory is under ~/.mozilla/firefox/ by default, it can have whatever name you select (you use the Firefox profile manager to create it manually or edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini manually). You can also edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and set an absolute path to the profile directory in any other location.
