Since you've done nearly everything that could affect a binary working properly, I think we can rule out a problem with the base system, X or the browser itself. I guess the problem might be related to your ~/.mozilla directory. I noticed that a large variety of problems might be related to something been broken inside it. This might be an extension that might be incompatible and that isn't installed on any of the other machines. I'd recommend you to shut down firefox, open a terminal window and rename the directory to something different. Please note that it contains all settings you've made in *any* mozilla product (sunbird, thunderbird). Start firefox again and give it a try. HTH Christian
