Try using a new profile and see if it helps any. Instructions on how to 
do this properly is at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs

Changed Summary to better relate to problem. I also added likely-sup tag 
because i remember seeing this bug a few times since ~beta release. If i 
recall correctly it was caused by bad profile but i dont remember exactly.
