Hi,

Can you run firefox with the -ProfileManager option, create a new profile
and give it a try.

It that works, it means firefox is ok, but your profile is not and this is
presumably caused by one of your extensions.

I advis you to:
- backup your profile
- remove the content of extensions/
- restart firefox
- reinstall your extensions one by one
