Perhaps some error messages?

This is not the case for me - Firefox 3.0b5 merely informed me about a 
few of my addons will not work with FF3.

I did some searching on the web, found [1], not sure if you have seen it 
tho.

[1] deals with USB and vboxusers issues, seems like what you need.

I haven't tried anything personally, hope it works for you.

Don't hesitate to ask for more help, if you need them.
