I got this same problem. I just tried what gesala wrote but… it worked first time… then I used the icon to enter into firefox to check what would happen and it executed again firefox 52.

Now when I execute /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin however it executes the firefox profiler which do not contain my normal profile…

Edited: I did sudo apt purge firefox-esr as explained in another thread and firefox does work correctly this way with my last profile, although oddly the firefox profile manager has a different name than the one I had before. Still it works so, that’s the important fact.
