Draycen DeCator, Nigel Babu, Micah Gersten, thanks for comments! I have now solved my problem/s/ by reinstalling ubuntu 9.10 from scratch.
This is what I guess might have triggered my problems: I installed Java from java.com (I am a new ubuntu user, I was then not aware of that Java so to speak is present in the form of unistalled though shipped packages). The installation consisted of two main phases, the first main phase seemed to have worked out with no problems. The second phase related to 'Tools' in Firefox; I think this was optional to install. Because I am of an over ambituous nature, I decided to install that too, and I think that that was the start of my Firefox problems. (( It took me a couple of days to get along with the ubuntu installation process. First I tryed various ways to install from a USB memory stick. No success. A guy advised me to go for installation via CD instead, it should be working with a Vista machine. I finally succeeded with my XP machine. By simply inserting an empty CD, but I had to be logged in as administrator, then a menu popped up, I selected 'Burn a disc with CDBurnerXP', I inserted the path to my downloaded .iso file and the CD was burnt, speed 40x, no problems. Then the installation in my dedicated DELL Linux machine was straight-forward.))
