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?
