I ended up eventually taking my libmap config which matches the -stable example one that comes with linuxpluginwrapper and commented out flash7 which isn't even installed (I have flash6) and all of the java plugins which were no longer installed. Firefox magically started. I started uncommenting plugins selectively to find the cause of the crash but can no longer recreate it. Very odd but I'm very happy. Thanks.
