Life is hard!
Here is the last part of the strace, I compared it to an strace of
starting my working firefox, it's fairly similar up to this point.

I don't have any strace record of touching
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so and
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_nscp_gcc29.so or
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so in my
working strace. I would consider mv-ing the contents of those dirs
somewhere else as a test and see if the problem changes.
My strace starts creating a file
/home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox/<blah>.default/xpti.dat.tmp around the
point where your strace ends as well, fwiw.
