   Sure, with chmod.   
   If you do that you would lose a lot of functionality, if it works at all.   
   You couldn't receive new e-mails, add bookmarks, have a history, add add-ons,   
   etc ... it all needs write access to the profile.   
   Maybe you could make some single config files read-only.
