Problem solved.  It had nothing to do with the Breezy upgrade.

I had enabled MergedFB in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (FWIW I have a Radeon
card).  After the reboot X came up, could not detect an external
monitor, and disabled MergedFB.  However the radeon driver still set its
pseudo-xinerama hints.  As a result, Metacity tried to open some windows
almost off-screen, and Firefox failed to open a window at all.

I changed my xorg.conf to not use MergedFB and Firefox now starts
normally.
