or how long it was working.

Could this be caused by a faulty extension that you've installed?

I don't think so. I have only these: flash got, ad block, copy url and pdf
download. all latest versions, which seems to work fine.

I suggest that you try what the link I gave you said and see if you get the same
results. You might also try creating a new profile and see if you observe the
same behaviour. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#new

Paulius, can you still reproduce this using Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and a clean profile (directions are available at the link Adam gave or at the one below)?
