I looked in the old ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile.ini to see what the old default directory was. I moved that directory off the backup to the new ~/.mozilla/firefox/ and changed the new profile.ini to point to it.
I HAD stopped Firefox before doing all this, and then restarted Firefox, and it ignored everything I did, showing all the startup defaults.
So either:
There is some stub service that is helping Firefox to restart where it last was before I terminated it. And I will probably have to reboot. Or everything is kept somewhere else?
you should able to rename your f22 directories;
~/.mozilla/* to ~/.mozilla-new ~/.thunderbird/* to ~/.thunderbird-new
then copy your f21 ~/.mozilla/* and ~/.thunderbird/* to your f22 ~/.
