Firefox 3 beta 4 only starts as root. When executed by a user it doesn't give any error message, it just doesn't appear. This are the last lines from the "strace -f" as user:
[pid 10075] getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, {rlim_cur=8192*1024, rlim_max=RLIM_INFINITY}) = 0
[pid 10075] uname({sys="Linux", node="TOTO", ...}) = 0
[pid 10075] futex(0xb6ffb070, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
[pid 10075] getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, {rlim_cur=1024, rlim_max=1024}) = 0
[pid 10075] futex(0xb7f201cc, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL
