Not sure if it is related, but I had a similar experience recently -

after an upgrade Firefox could be started but remained in a non

working state, like waiting for something to happen. The cause was

that the .cache subdirectory in my home directory had changed

ownership to root. After fixing the ownership Firefox started working

normally again.


Not sure it is related, but there is a bugzilla ticket :

It may help.
