any error messages ?
have you tried opening firefox from a terminal ?
also, have you tried removing (or renaming) your preferences and then restarting ?

Yes,I have tried this. deleted the ~/.mozilla,but it didn't work.
I also tried to run /usr/bin/firefox in the terminal.
as root ,everything is ok and a firefox window appeared immediatly.
as a normal user, it showed nothing but ps could see a firefox-bin process running.

and strace /usr/bin/firefox, got the result that it stop at

waitpid(-1,

which is passed in root user

waitpid(-1,-xbfcdedb8,WNOHANG) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)

can you get a clue from all this? what's the problem and what should I do?
thanks a lot for help :D
