I can't resist a haiku I heard a few years ago.
It worked yesterday.
It no longer works today.
Windows is like that.
That being said, I'm a long time windows (& firefox) user. Does the problem go away when you restart your computer and use firefox for the first time? Do you start a new session or restart the old one? Sometimes a web site will cause peculiar behavior in Firefox and it keeps reappearing until you start a new session. Having too many tabs open at a time can cause a problem although I find I can have as many as 50 tabs open before running into problems. If rebooting doesn't solve the problem and starting a new session doesn't I'd try temporarily disabling your antivirus. Also look in Windows Task Manager to see if firefox is still running. Holding down Control, Shift and Escape at the same time brings up the task manager. Looking on the processes tab will tell you if Firefox is running. You can safely stop that process and see if it improves things.
If none of that works, I'd try reinstalling Firefox. You can try Portable Firefox (at portableapps.com) if you don't want to install over your previous version.
hth,
