When your run from the terminal, does it terminate immediately?  Have
seen cases where plugins, Java being particularly problematic, make a
browser silently die.  Check what's
in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ or
~/.mozilla/plugins and try removing (or moving everything out of the
way) except /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libnullplugin.so and see if it
runs.
