You might try :
MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
export MOZ_NO_REMOTE

Instead of
-profile ~/data/acct1/Mail

try,
-P "Profile Name"

pixmaps dire - unsure.

This is normal - to update language extensions (which is not stored in 
local user profile), you must run as root/su'd.

As above - try logging in & out.

Also, try not top-posting, makes it harder/more effort to reply.
