Firefox launches and stops at the home page (a file on my computer).

we had some reports in the past like bug 480733 nad bug 476675 but it seems to work for most people.

Doesn't work for me, and I've installed SnowLeopard on clean partitions on three machines and then Firefox.  Every one exhibits this problem.
