Solved - went to Preferences -> General -> Startup and made FireFox my default browser (even though it already was previously).
I have the exact same problem on Ubuntu/Xubuntu 14.04 32-bit. Setting Firefox as a default browser (as Andrew Pam suggested above) didn't help. I also removed the entire ~/.mozilla folder and started fresh with no plugins or any personal changes - didn't help either.

I believe you also need to completely exit and restart Firefox after (re)making Firefox the default browser.
Well, in the morning everything was OK, now the issue is back. I don't get it.

Mass resolving a bunch of old bugs in the x-remote component in preparation for archiving it. If this bug is still valid and useful, please move it to the "Toolkit: Startup and Profile System" component and reopen it.
