Did you try to completely stop all of the previous version's processes?

With new Firefox updates I frequently observe that the already running old  
version "disintegrates" -- I cannot open new pages and get error messages or  
blank pages instead. This can then be solved by closing all Firefox windows  
and starting it such that only the new executable ist running.
