  See 
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Install-and-Update/Profiles-Where-Firefox-stores-your-bookmarks-passwords-and-other/ta-p/4608
for a listing of what files store what in your profile.  You can delete
ones you don't want.  Firefox will create a new default replacement next
time you start.

***IMPORTANT***

1) you must ***NOT*** be running Firefox against that profile when you
do the deletions.  Otherwise it will restore from crash-backup and/or
memory when it exits.

2) You ***MUST*** first open Firefox with that profile and then close it
"properly" with either "File ==> Quit" or the {CTRL}{Q} keyboard
shortcut.  Firefox has a "crash-recovery" option that allows it to
resume a session if it is killed externally, e.g. "killall firefox".
