    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
If you want to rebuild a new profile (which is not only bookmarks but
stored passwords as well). You will need to run:

rm ~/.mozilla; mv ~/.mozilla_old ~/.mozilla

This will rename the old (broken) profile back in. You can then export
your favorites using this:

bookmarks/

I am unsure how to export passwords but these can easily be re-entered
in sites and resaved in a fresh profile.

Once you have the favorites out, you can run:

mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old

and launch firefox. You will once again have a plain-jane profile but
you can now import your favorites.
