Yes, "~/.mozilla" is where the user profile and files are located.
Renaming that folder should be enough to get a clean environment (no user
plugins, no settings... just the defaults).

Wow. Did you purge the package after removing it?
Anyway, you can try to launch the browser from command line to check for
any errors you may get :-?
Another test (if you are using 32 bits OS) could be downloading Firefox
directly form Mozilla site and run the upstream version (no installation
needed, just click and run).
Does Epiphany experiment the same behaviour? I don't remember if you
already say so...
