My Firefox is running just fine, too, Lanny. Seems like I recall the
O.P. having problems with cross-pollinated repositories some time ago. A
Firefox update history might be helpful:
[root@mavis log]# grep -i firefox* /var/log/yum.log.2
Jun 27 20:27:40 Updated: firefox.i386 1.5.0.12-1.el5.centos
Jul 20 12:05:52 Updated: firefox.i386 1.5.0.12-3.el5.centos
Oct 24 07:30:46 Updated: firefox.i386 1.5.0.12-6.el5.centos
Dec 05 09:39:13 Updated: firefox.i386 1.5.0.12-7.el5.centos
[root@mavis log]# grep -i firefox\* /var/log/yum.log.2

[root@mavis log]#
Also, it might be useful to remove all addons -- extensions, themes,
plugins, etc. to see if one of those is causing a problem.
