[Scott Ferguson]

It 'sounds' like you have a problem with hardware acceleration -
probably caused by an add-on. Make sure they are all updated.

For future reference(?), try the following first before reinstalling:-

Try firefox in safe-mode:-
firefox -safemode&

Reset firefox:-
backup  ~/.mozilla/firefox/
go to: about:support
Click on the button in the top-right hand corner

*If* those actions don't help:-


What is the output of:-
for i in $(dpkg --get-selections | grep 'firefox\|xul-' | cut -f1);do
dpkg -l $i|tail -n1;done

and:-
apt-get -sf install

NOTE: run those commands as a general user

Did you purge when removing?

Were you out of space?
df -h
