Again, I'm really ignorant, but I have one other thought. Have you tried
moving all the user-specific stuff directory to another name and letting
FF start up "fresh"? I recently had a problem regarding the destruction
of the pluginreg.dat. Still waiting to hear if I should post a bug on
it. The problem was having FF check to see if it was the default browser
(needs to be disabled). Anyway, since you've re-installed, maybe
something corrupted some configuration files.

It's easy to do, so worth a try I guess.

The ones with which I'm familiar are ~/.mozilla/firefox and ~/.mozilla/
although I don't think the latter one is involved. There's probably some
system-wide ones, but I've never had to chase those down yet.

BTW, did you try an rpm verify after the re-install? We don't want to
"assume" that things were not corrupted by the download/install process.

I need to add you to my spell-checker. It want's me to believe you're a
"Drunkard". :-)
