I had Firefox open this morning on Xubuntu 14.04 , but it became
unresponsive. I attempted to restart it and got the same error message
as the OP mentioned. Reinstalling Firefox did not do anything. I also
attempted renaming the .mozilla folder in case my profile got corrupted,
but that didn't do anything either. Firefox doesn't appear to load to a
point to create a new profile.

Bug description:
  I am using firefox on ubuntu 12.04 and the current installed binary is
  firefox_38.0+build3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb. STarting firefox from
  the dash fails and I get the error message:

  XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
  /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: Timer expired
  Couldn't load XPCOM.

  when attempting to start from the command line. I have not done
  anything recently other than run apt-get dist-upgrade and do not know
  what could be causing this.
