The 'lock' file is usually a symlink to a nonexistant file that looks like:

<ipaddress>:<process id of running browser>
for example, mine is:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 billings users          18 Mar 29 16:44 lock -> 128.2.191.24:30430


Yes, a profile is basically just what it sounds like, toolbars, user settings,
local cache, etc.
