Inexplicable wierdness experienced by a single user where many other 
users are not experiencing a problem is indicative of a problem specific 
to that single user's configuration. All user specific configurations on 
Moz products are contained within the profile. Firebird and Firfox use 
the same profile (AFAIK.)

A likely candidate for the problem would be an incomatible theme or 
extension.
