No it is not Ubufox's issue, it is better if you enable it. It is
Ubuntu's stuff.

Well I have no idea what is going on. Sometimes when I encounter
issues on another user's machine, I go to Firefox's Tools->Clear
Recent History..." menu,

there I select for "Time range to clear: ", the "Everything" option,

in "Details" I enable all the boxes,

and then I press the "Clear now" button.

Then I close the browser, and run it again.

I have fixed some unusual issues this way.


If this doesn't work either, then this will work 100%: Just erase the
.mozilla directory (it begins with a .dot). In terminal you can do
this by typing:

rm -rf .mozilla

No, but I think the above will fix your problem for sure.
