Whenever firefox wigged out it was always the same extension for me,
SwitchProxy.  The author decided to put his own auto-update in which hangs
whenever his web server is not available to serve the current version number.
 It wouldn't be so bad except he does not honor Firefox's own setting to not
check auto-update stuff.  It has it's own.  If you have it that'd be the first
one I'd try disabling.

With Steve's suggestion (command line option) , I was able to bring up
'firefox' fine.

Of course, all the extensions are disabled ...

I assume you looked at the documentation/man page.  Did it have any
useful suggestions?  What happened when you tried them?

Thanks, Steve!  I actually did check the 'man' page, but missed that option.

Now if I can just find out what's causing the problem ...

From man firefox:

   -safe-mode
  Starts Mozilla Firefox in  safe  mode,  that  is  disabling  all
  extensions and showing a bit more debugging messages.
