i downloaded the tar ball from www.mozilla.org/firefox, and i didn't need to compile anything. It came precompiled. If you have the same package, try running the executable directly.

Does

firefox/libxpistub.so

exist, and do you have proper permissions to open the library? Have you tried running firefox as root?

You could also try fix the problem by removing ~/.mozilla

I have firefox extracted to /opt/firefox. This is simply a copy of the extracted files from the tarball.

Hope it works out

Either remove all of firefox that you have on your computer and re-download the package. If you cant or dont want to do this, or it doesnt work, i have uploaded my libxpistub.so, so you can download it from here:
