Hello,

I also get this all the time on amd64, and it usually opens up the window.
However Firefox never opens the window when I ctrl-z, bg while
it is starting up. Doing firefox & works.
Try this:
1) remove your ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/compreg.dat
2) mv .mozilla .mozilla.old
3) xhost +; firefox; xhost -; firefox (yes, strange, but it has helped me before)
