A few things to check:

* Did you copy the Firefox application from the disk image onto your 
hard drive? I believe it won't work if you try to run it directly from 
the disk image.

* Are you running as an admin user account or a non-privileged user?

* Try running 'Console' (in /Applications/Utilities), see if any 
messages show up while you try to start up Firefox.

* If Console doesn't work, try from Terminal (also in 
/Applications/Utilities). Try executing the program by the full path 
directly, eg:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
