Firefox and Midori crash (Segfault) and other strange things [SOLVED]

I don't know when exactly it started, but after updating my system a lot of things were broken at the same time -

At first I couldn't get my Compiz-stand-alone Desktop, compiz/ the fusion-icon program crash on startup... Well, I "fixed" it without going in detail by returning to OpenBox...

Next step - nitrogen, my wallpaper setter, says to every perfectly valid directory that it doesn't exist... thats a minor problem, but still very strange... Ok that was my fault I had an alias for it and forgot that... the other problems are still there

Now the most important thing - Firefox started to crash with segfaults when

a) opening specific sites (for example once on a guitar tab site)
b) trying to download any file
c) Even trying to open some firefox config dialogs make it crash

I tried creating a new profile, resetting all settings, deactivating extensions etc.... Same behaviour, even with "vanilla" firefox

When trying to open midori, which I wanted to use instead to download a file, I got a surprise - it segfaults on startup, better to say, it doesnt even show up...

I think that all or many of those things have something in common, probably have the same reason...

Thanks in advance for any help...

OMG thanks god, it's fixed after huge updating today
