Please give a link to the site with the problem. If the problem is on more sites, try basic troubleshooting like:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstallation in a new empty folder
- updating your plug-ins

it seems it is related to a module (I forgot the name) related to .net
I uninstalled the module, and firefox is ok now
