I had a similar issue 6 month ago.
I also tried those steps without any success.

Then I created a new account and there the issue did not appear.
So, I thought, it has to be something account specific.

I deleted these directories:
~/.cache/mozilla/firefox
~/.mozilla/firefox

At the next launch firefox greated me with the new user welcome.
You have to start from scratch but it resolved the issue.
