Your User Agent shows that you have Ask Toolbar installed. Ask Toolbar has been causing many problems in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. So Uninstall that extension.

There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:

After that do this:

Clear Cookies & Cache

Clear the Network Cache

Check and tell if its working.
