It's some kind of packaging problem. I tried to debug with strace, ldd, etc., but no luck. However, downloading FF 25 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/25.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/ and using that worked. (I prepped by yum removing firefox and xulrunner, and for good measure deleting my ~/.firefox directory.)

So at least we have a workaround to run the latest FF.
