Thanks all, I couldn't find the lockfile but deleting the entire contents of the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory and logging out and in again sorted it out. Now all I have to do is retrieve my bookmarks from backup.
In the future, just move the directory away from the place that makes it special, don't actually eradicate it!

I think firefox was running when I backed up the home directory. I'm going to try restoring it with firefox running and see what happens. Regards Dave P
Success, I restored ~/.mozilla/firefox with firefox running and I've got all my addons, bookmarks etc restored as well after restarting firefox. The moral of the story :- don't backup home directory with firefox running.
