a pain on every one of them, albeit in slightly different ways; but the

The first thing they have in common is that it takes forever to
launch -- when it does launch. The second is that it mostly doesn't. It
will try, and the little blue dots will circle for a while, and the
window list on the panel will show a mark for it -- for a while.
Sometimes one or another window will flash up and disappear, usually too
fast even to identify.
I'm getting confused as between machines, which is which; but
Firefox has come up with another little nasty trick on at least two of
them : when it does launch, it does so in offline mode -- and then
complains because it can't refresh various sites.
Are you running NetworkManager? If so, is NM managing your default
interface? If it's running but thinks it's offline (even if it really
isn't), Firefox may also think it's offline. This happens with Evolution
as well, which is why I mention it as a possibility.
