Please try doing this things and retest between each step:
a) Clear the Firefox disk cache (with delete private data)
b) delete the stored facebook cookies (can be done in the options under show cookies)
c) Try the safemode : http://support.mozilla.com/en/kb/Safe+Mode
d) try creating an additional test profile : http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles

I had never used Twitter on the computer on which I had the issue.
Neverless, clearing all private data fixed this problem.
Set status to Resolved->Wontfix.
Sorry to disturb with this.

Wontfix is for developers to set policy.
