I had a similar problem this morning after I installed Firefox from the
Mozilla website. I found that it would sit there and then not start at
all. To fix mine I just renamed my .mozilla directory to
.mozilla_backup. This seemed to have fixed it. Seems that this version
of firefox is different. For example it had import my bookmarks etc.
Hope that helps.

I was using Firefox 0.8 until i decided to try the new version
yesterday. I used yum to remove the old one and then yum again to
install version 0.9.1. Now i can't use either firefox or the original
mozilla version that comes with Fedora (Core 1), but konqueror works
fine. During the installation, yum said that a XFree86 update was needed
and i agreed to it.
Any suggestions?
it sounds like the last bit is where your problem lies. ( installation
of XFree86 )
FC2 uses Xorg and not XFree86. Check your installed packages list to see
if you've got both, ( although I don't see how that could be possible )
installed on your system. You'll want to remove the XFree86 packages in
favor of the Xorg packages.

Linux user because anything else is just insane.
I renamed my .mozilla directory, and when i started firefox it prompted
me for importing dtaa from older versions, but then it didn't work (i
trid both, importing and not importing)
In my opinion, it is very strange that mozilla 1.4.1 doesn't start either...
