Hi all.
I have exactly the same issue, and for me, it is a Sophos AV problem.
To stop the Sophos active scan, launch the following command in a terminal :
sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl disable

Once it is done, FF and TB are back !

Title:
  libxul.so cannot open shared object file

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
