Not sure this will help or not but I suggest you remove any add-ons you have and try. I noticed once that the add-ons may not work properly and causes some failures to an updated firefox.

I have lots of problems with Ubuntu (all of which are non-issue with my main distro, debian). Anyway, as a suggestion, maybe you could download a Firefox linux binary from Firefox website. You should download version 2.0 if you intended to use Ubuntu repo version again in the future; otherwise Firefox 3 Beta 5 is really good and fast, with less memory leak problem. You can extract the .tar.gz file into your home directory (~$ tar xzvf ...tar.gz). The entire Firefox will be found in ~/firefox. You can simply run the binary ~/firefox/firefox and see whether it works. There is no need to install Firefox to the system. If it works, then the problem will be with Ubuntu Firefox settings. You can opt to use this version of Firefox instead, just modify all the shortcuts to Firefox to point to ~/firefox/firefox.
