Try running mozilla with a new profile and see if it improves the 
situation. Run "mozilla -profilemanager" to open the profile manager, 
then create a a new profile and use it to start mozilla.

If mozilla behaves properly with the new profile, you basically want to 
delete your old profile and start using the new one. You can do this 
through the profile manager, or you can just delete your ~/.mozilla 
directory and let mozilla build a new one next time you launch it.  Note 
that your bookmarks are stored in a file named "bookmarks.html" within 
each profile; you may want to save the old file and then hand-copy it 
into the new profile directory.
