You have to have the profile directory there otherwise Firefox can't
check if it is open already.
Try something like
~.mozilla/firefox $ for i in *.default ; do mv $i OLD.$i; mkdir $i; done
And you can open Firefox with a clean profile.

Alternatively,
~.mozilla/firefox $ mv profiles.ini OLD.profiles.ini
And then Firefox will think it is being opened for the first time.

Concerning the slowness being gone, maybe it was just luck?
