Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I am.  but it's because my profile, like so many other times, has gotten corrupted.  please fix this "corrupt profile" problem.

actually, I experience it with a new profile if:
I customize the toolbar
OR
I restore my bookmarks. one of them is
javascript:void(document.location='http://validator.w3.org/checklink?url='+escape(document.location))
a linkrot checker for pages.  this MAY be causing a problem. I have no RSS feeds as links I don't think (that's another bug report).
