Although it's possible that the Firefox software is corrupt, it's more 
likely that your personal preferences directory is broken somehow.  I 
have solved problems like this in the past by quitting Firefox, moving 
aside my Mozilla preferences directory, and starting Firefox again. 
Move aside the preferences directory like this:

mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-old

You might want to export your bookmarks before doing that.
