did you try temporarily moving your profile folder?
it's location differs based on XP:
Documents and Settings\Application DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles
or win 7:
Users\AppDataRoamingMozillaFirefoxProfiles
buried within your profile folder is a [some alphanumeric string].default folder containing all your bookmarks, preferences, and other settings. So don't delete the contents, just relocate them somewhere else.
After you move the profile folder, firefox should create a fresh (blank slate) profile for you. If that still gives you problems, I'm not sure what is wrong.
But if it does work you can *copy* components of the problem profile into the new one untill you either:
a) get all the settings you care about back, or
b) find the part of the profile is that is broken.
hope this helps.
