Firefox doesn't launch

I've just installed Firefox and it runs but it doesn't show the gui. I've straced it and I got the following trace. It seems it gets into a loop so I'll just post a snippet of the the system calls in the loop:

recvmsg(4, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"\34\0i\1\334\0\0\0'\0\0\0 )-\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
recvmsg(4, 0x7ffdd7d0f770, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
recvmsg(4, 0x7ffdd7d0f750, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=22, events=POLLIN}], 4, -1) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLIN}])
futex(0x7f7fc523918c, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, 0x7f7fc5432530, 380) = 1

Any idea of how can I continue debugging this?
