That could be excessive:

~/.mozilla> ls -1 | wc -l
36
~/.mozilla> grep Name firefox/profiles.ini | wc -l
19
~/.mozilla> grep Name seamonkey/profiles.ini | wc -l
5
~/.mozilla> ls -d1 p* t*
pmcur
tbc
~/.mozilla>

Instead, consider to examine ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and if more than one
exists, mv only the actually applicable firefox profile directory. Or, leave it
all safely alone and create a new profile:

<firefoxdir>/firefox --ProfileManager

Note too that actual profile data need not be in ~/.mozilla/ anywhere. Each
profile in a profiles.ini can point anywhere desired.
