All right, here we go ...
I moved ~/.mozilla as suggested and let firefox install a new directory. 
But that did not change anything nor it had a positive effect.

And, indeed, I 'utilize' -ffast-amth and -funroll-loops in make.conf. I 
will remove them on the i386 machine and see, whether this succeeds.

On another box, amd64 arch, the same phenomenon occured the same time I 
changed from 5.4 to 6.0. I'll report if the 'not allowed' compiler 
option caused this misbehaviour.
