Make sure to run firefox as root once (I usually do that first, after the upgrade). See if that helps ...
This is apparently a widespread bug -- lots of problems with this update in RHEL4. See:

fyi, after reading bug 200622, I followed the link to bug 139531, where I found the following workaround: set the MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO environment variable before starting firefox, eg for bash:
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=yes
