For me it happens if I'm logged in via XDM and lack a firefox profile
when I start it. After the profile is created I have no problems.
The problem arises from the existance of an XDM-AUTHORIZATION key in my
.XAuthority file when I log in via XDM. If I remove that key (even
logged in through XDM) the bug won't show up.
Simon Bowden's fix in comment #12 on bugzilla also fixes the problem if
I start firefox without a profile and the XDM-AUTH key exists.
His fix is running it as:
XRE_IMPORT_PROFILES=1 firefox
