Please try clearing cache and cookies and history. See Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox for an easy and quick way to do that. Also add-ons could be affecting the startup of firefox. Start firefox inDiagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode and see if you are able to notice and differences.

I wish FF would let of the silly race go back to V3.xxxx and make FF viable again.
