As bibek already mentioned,
just remove (move/rename) the .mozilla directory in your home-directory and
start the firefox. Follow the following steps:

STEP 1: Close the firefox if open.
STEP 2: Open a terminal and run this command:
               rm -r ./.mozilla
STEP 3: Open mozilla as usual.

Warning: You will loose all your bookmarks and personal settings of firefox.
