I am having this problem also after I upgraded from Kubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. I removed .mozilla/firefox, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3 Beta and upgraded to Beta 5. No joy.
If I wait around 15 minutes firefox will start if launched in a shell with this output: raiman@titan:~$ firefox GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805e118: NP_GetMIMEDescription GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805e118: NP_GetMIMEDescription return GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805e118: NP_GetValue GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805e118: NP_GetValue: returning plugin name.

If I click on anything firefox hangs.
