I use prism extension and it works very well, no issue. The problem was just a corrupted profile as explained buy Mozilla FAQ.

Did you install the prism extention from the repos or from elsewhere?
You can check using 'apt-cache policy prism'. The command to install it
will be 'sudo apt-get install prism'

According to
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/236613/comments/13
prism packages from ubuntu repos don't cause issues with firefox in
ubuntu.
