Strange, I have the same package versions and firefox runs fine...

Uhmmm... I don't have virtualbox installed, so this can make the difference.

I think the problem here is VirtualBox.

Is it possible for you to check if XPCOM files related from VirtualBox
conflict with Firefox/xulrunner ones?. Maybe something not compatible
from VirtualBox is loaded instead of the right one.
