Just experienced same problem. "sudo firefox" solved the problem, but
this is of course an unacceptable solution from a security point of
view. Then I noticed that a couple of files in my firefox profile
directory were owned by root for some reason. (Might this be the result
of installing a new toolbar as root? (which I did...))

Thus, upon executing "sudo chown -R <my username>:<my username> " here my 
problem was solved :) 
The profile directory can be found in ~/.mozilla/firefox/, the one with a 
really random name :P

hope this helps
