Firefox not starting, not responding

After updating today Firefox is not starting normally. The window remains a plain background color area.
The not depiced closing button is working.

Sometimes after many minutes, the old session is displayed, but the browser is not responsive.
System is up to date and I rebooted. I am using gnome.

I have no clue how to debug this and apparently it seems not to be a general issue, as I couldn't find a relevant topic here.

One thing I saw in journal was:

Feb 04 10:57:45 rahmen gnome-shell[3729]: Received error from D-Bus search provider firefox.desktop: Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable
