If I hold Alt key and press s key it will open up history, but if I click on anything it will crash, I just did it.

Try the mozilla ppa, it may help

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox

No good, still crashes. How do I back this version out and go back to straight firefox?

sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall

I'd log a bug, you may have to use a different (better) browser til it gets fixed.

ok then remove the browser, and the ppa. Then reinstall the browser.

If you rename ~/.mozilla so you get a vanilla profile, is it the same?

Sorry, but i don't know how to do that? I was able to remove firefox via the ubuntu software center, but not sure how to gfind ppa and remove. If you can send the commands i'll cut and paste into a terminal session again. that's my extent of knowledge of linux.

If you use the software sources app in system -> administration

You can remove it there

Can you help with this problem?
