Try seeing if you have any plugins causing problems.  For example,
RHEL 4 currently has a bug with the Java plugin, although it doesn't
cause problems at startup:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170447

Did you try running strace?  From the command prompt,
strace firefox
or
strace mozilla
This will display a log of the system calls made by Firefox or
Mozilla; often, the last few calls will give a clue as to what the
problem is.
