Firefox won't start after system upgrade, "bus error", works with sudo

I recently performed a system upgrade (pacman -Syu) and now firefox won't start anymore.

Only error message I get when starting from a console is "Bus error"

When starting firefox from a console using sudo ("sudo firefox") it starts up alright.

I already reinstalled xulrunner and gtk2 (was mentioned in an older post), but that didn't help.

I'm running xfce if that helps.

Edit: solved it, started firefox using safe mode, disabling all plugins ("firefox -safe-mode"), closed one of the tabs that seemed to have issues, restarted normally with all plugins, all working now.
