I posted a similar message a couple of weeks ago, but with no responses. I 
narrowed down the problem on my system to the installation of Kooldock. 
Uninstalling that program solved everything, and firefox now functions 
properly once again from the (KDE) menu. Which desktop are you using? Also, 
I've run into this problem only with the KDE installation on FC5.
