This happened to me when my updates switched me from Firefox 3.0 Beta to 3.0 released (two days ago). It may helpful to note that if I sudo Firefox from the console, it works normally; i.e. it does find my bookmarks, etc. If I start Firefox from the console as normal user, though, I see this message:

(firefox:20016): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

So presumably it has to do with permissions or authority having been changed by some update or other.
