I think the problem is that you probably did not create a clean profile after the upgrade, >From the prompt, type firefox --p (this brings up firefox profiles, create a new profile and import data from old profile). If you have already done this, then delete the firefox directory under .mozilla and restart firefox (make backup before you do). Create a new profile and import from backup.
