    Which version of firefox are you using? If it is the debian version, I'm
    a bit curious why would you write ./firefox to start it! If it is a
    nightly or an official version from mozilla itself, make a new profile
    and use that.

    $ ./firefox -P

    should start the profile manager. Older profile may be causing new
    firefox to crash.
