You could try clearing the cache and cookies. To do this, click on Tools -> Clear private data. Here only check 'cache' and 'cookies' and click clear private data now. Restart Firefox and check.
Also you could check and isolate a problematic theme/extension by disabling them one by one from Tools -> Add-ons and restarting firefox.
If still you got problems, go to the firefox safe mode by clicking on start -> run and typing 'firefox -safe-mode' (without quotes) or by going to start -> programs -> mozilla firefox -> mozilla firefox (safe mode). Over here check 'disable all addons' , 'reset toolbars and controls' and 'reset all user preferences to defaults' and click make changes and restart. Now check whether you have problems on meebo.
Or you could completely uninstall and reinstall firefox.
Here's how you uninstall Mozilla Firefox completely:
1)Uninstall firefox from the add/remove control panel (Start-> Run and type 'appwiz.cpl' (without quotes) or 'control appwiz.cpl' if you're in win9x and hit OK. Select mozilla firefox from the list and hit remove.
2)Now delete the Mozilla Firefox folder from 'program files' (Assuming firefox is installed in C:\program files, Go to that path and delete the entire Mozilla firefox folder.
3)Now remove the firefox folder from : start-> run-> type in %appdata% and hit OK (this will open the application data folder)->Mozilla. Delete the Firefox folder in the Mozilla directory. If you use only the Firefox 'product' of Mozilla, then its ok to delete the Mozilla folder itself.
Now reinstall firefox and you should be okay.
Alternatively, since you are experiencing the the problem only on Meebo, you could get the IE tab extension for firefox.Once you install that extension , simply put the Meebo URL in that extension so that it'll be one of the sites that'll open within firefox but will use the IE's engine. I'll walk you through it.
Click here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox... for the IE tab extension
Once you're on the page, click 'install now (windows)' ...follow steps to install. At the end it'll prompt you to restart firefox.
Now click Tools >Add-ons > Extensions > click on IE tab extension > click options . Now in the URL, enter http://www*.meebo.com/* and click 'add'. now click 'ok' to close to box. From now on, always meebo.com will open with IE's engine . What this extension basically does is, it lets you change the rendering engine for a webpage. If you don't want to enter any URL there, then you can also click the mozilla firefox icon in the bottom right of the window to switch to the IE rendering engine for the page you're viewing after installing this extension. This basically just eliminates the trouble of switching back and forth between the two browsers for an offending webpage.
