Does Talkback appear or nothing at all (so no sign of a crash)? Can you move
away your Firefox profile in ${HOME} from .mozilla to .mozilla2 or whatever and
see if it starts now?

 I tried this, after moving the .mozilla to .mozilla2 , it works fine !

This appears to be a profile misconfiguration problem (probably brought on by an
upgrade during which the original reporter did not backup and move their profile).  

Resolving INVALID.
