The output of:

# equery check mozilla-firefox

# equery check mozilla-launcher

?

Also does this succeed (the $-sign means run as user rather than root):

$ /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin

?

I have remerge firefox again,and now when i type :

$firefox
No running windows found

and  there is no  more output and the terminal just  wait here.
And now ,after about 10 minutes,firefox appear at last! Now everything is Ok!

There is some more message in terminal now:

I guess during the 10 minutes,firefox was checking the plugins.

But the time is too long and there is no any tips!

Does this happen each time you start Firefox 2.0? There was a delay when
I first ram FF2, although nothing like 10 minutes, while it checked
plugins, but this only happened on the first run.

Hi,

Can you run firefox with the -ProfileManager option, create a new profile
and give it a try.

It that works, it means firefox is ok, but your profile is not and this is
presumably caused by one of your extensions.

I advis you to:
- backup your profile
- remove the content of extensions/
- restart firefox
- reinstall your extensions one by one
