Have you tried stopping Firefox, renaming your Firefox profile and start 
Firefox again to see if the problem persists? I think you could try that 
with these steps after you have quit Firefox:

$ cd $HOME/.mozilla
$ mv firefox firefox.org

And start Firefox again. If the problem persists then move back the 
Firefox profile:

$ cd $HOME/.mozilla
$ mv firefox.org firefox

And perhaps you could try to reinstall Firefox?

$ sudo yum reinstall firefox
