mozilla-firefox is the only one with problems. A colleague of mine had
the same problems with firefox, but for him purging and reinstalling all
firefox-related packages helped.

Mozilla had it, but upgrading helped there for me as well.

Could it have something to do with upgrading from an xterm, or using xdm
as the display manager?
