| What is wrong here?
| I have already done an upgrade to 5.3-RELEASE, but the problem persists.

When upgrading Mozilla/Firefox you have to delete certain directories
and files from your ~/.mozilla directory. This is why it is having
problems. See mozilla's website for a complete list of instructions.
