Firefox doesn't give any error message, it just stalls or never shows up?

If you haven't already, could you check the tips in this article: Firefox won't start - find solutions.

If you want to try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode, you can hold down the Shift key while double-clicking the Firefox icon. You should get a small dialog with the choices of Safe Mode and Reset. I suggest trying Safe Mode first.
