The profile directory is the funny_name.default one (where funny_name is
the one with numbers and upper+lower-case letters).
Also, for grep, one useful trick is to do something like:
ps -ef | grep '[t]hunderbird'
That way the grep won't find itself, because it will be looking for
thunderbird, but the grep command line has [t]hunderbird. Neater than
the frequent "| grep -v grep" I often see which a) starts up a
superfluous grep command, and b) may hide the thing you are looking for.
