Please bottom-post here, thanks.

First, the location where the program is stored is NOT referred to as a
"profile"; and, you should NOT be editing or changing any "prefs" in the
mozilla.org program folder(s).  In a standard installation the program
goes into [drive]:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla; your personal user
data goes into a location based on your operating system (see:
http://www.holgermetzger.de/pdl.html for details).

Given what I think you're saying, I still think the path you need to
take is to do a new installation of Mozilla 1.6.  During that process
the installer will tell you it is going to delete everything in the
program folder(s), which you should allow to happen.  That will clean
out any extensions such as jslib and launchy that might have been
installed into the programs folder.

This process will NOT affect your personal data stored in your profile
folder(s).
