It might be something that only affects Firefox after you run
it.  Javascript exploits are typical in that fashion -- yes,
even on Linux.

What version of Firefox (or Mozilla) are you running?  (use
Help -> About)

BTW, did you upgrade your kernel recently?  If so, what video
driver are you using for what card?  Is it still a Matrox
(I'm a bit ignorant on how their drivers work)?
