Hmm, works fine here. Try to backup your ~/.mozilla, remove it, and see if that fixes it. Or maybe try with another user.
Erasing of the old ~/.mozilla directory fixed the problem. After restarting firefox several times, when using the old ~/.mozilla directory, it started to work again. I think Firefox started to work after it printed following into console: Removing /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/mby19qrp.default/compreg.dat leftover from older firefox Seems bit odd that I had to restart it several times after the upgrade... I even double checked that the Firefox was gone (ps -A | grep firefox) before starting it again.
The 'old profile' issue is a known problem with the mozilla products .. not sure when upstream will track it down.

Shouldn't the ebuilds print some warning about this? It can be very confusing for users, and just "if you get XUL errors see bug xxx" would be sufficient IMO. Please see bug 121872 too (mozilla-thunderbird and mozilla-thunderbird-bin).
