Try renaming your ~/.mozilla folder then rerun the browser. If its ko then yuo know your profile is bad (most likely the skin you are using). If its still bad then the profile will be fine but the program itself will be bad and need reinstalling

A good place to start is to use the mozilla PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa

Install the later build, it may help

I havent any idea of what you are talking about. How do I rename a mozilla folder, I mean where is it? How do I find "ko". What is a profile and a skin. Never mind, I cannot understand. Reinstall what? What is a PPA?

Do you mean I should install a later version of Firefox?

Yes, add the PPA (Personal Package Archive). This one is maintained by the mozilla team so is great (if you like firefox). It has a later build of the version you use (as well as experimental ones).
