If this works, you might want to copy your bookmarks from the old folder.

Please can you specify the location to be renamedThe file is called .mozilla and it is in your home directory. It is a hidden file, so when you open Places --> Home Folder you will need to go to the "View" menu and click "Show Hidden Files" in order to see it.

Isn't it a directory, not a file?

Isn't it a directory, not a file?Yes. But that is a distinction without a difference for the immediate purpose.

and how renaming solved this.Most likely, a corruption in a configuration file was the cause... but any number of things can cause the problem you experienced. By renaming the the folder, you forced FireFox to create a new folder along with new configurations.
