I also have this problem.  Or pretty close.   It never starts.
I'm running ubuntu 8.04 but with an older kernel (2.6.15-27) that's compatible 
with VMware workstation 5.
I've removed my .mozilla folder and un-installed everything firefox related.

Running under strace, it stops with:

setsockopt(49, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
connect(49, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.esd-1000/socket"}, 23

I'm guessing there is something sound-related that's killing it.
