If you close the browser then run:

mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old

Then rerun the browser. Is it ok?

Yes, after your command I can open pages on first launch, but firefox isn't fully functional - for example "back" button remains grey when next page opened. When I do relaunch firefox the problem comes back.

I suggest you report a bug then

I ran into the same bug and had to force previous version available via synaptic (9.0.1).
Still have to check if this is plugin related (impossible to restart with add-ons disabled). Nothing works, Firefox Sync doesn't work although I happened to have my bookmarks loaded on one miraculous try.

I couldn't find the related bug report, is it up yet?
