By any chance, are you using ATI driver (fglrx) in dual-screen mode,
while not connected to an external monitor? That happens to me
sometimes.
I think it's some bug in firefox that can't deal with some
configuration.. All you need to do is use xrandr (I use krandrtray)
to set the correct resolution, run "killall firefox-bin" if you had
started any sessions already, then start firefox again
If this issue is not related, start firefox in console with
-safe-mode flag, see it that helps. If not, try erasing (renaming)
your profile directory
I am not using the ATI driver.
Which "profile directory" are you referring to? Do you mean the file
/etc/profile?
Peter
Your /home/~user/.mozilla/firefox directory , try renaming that and
restarting firefox. That will cause it to create a fresh set of
preferences.
