Answer 1

I had the same problem, apparently due to an update to the GWT plugin, which doesn't seem to work with Firefox 22 (latest version is Firefox 23).

What I did to fix it is start FF in failsafe mode, deactivate the GWT plugin, restart FF, force the FF 23 update from the "Help" -> "About" menu, restart FF and reactivate the GWT plugin. It seems to work well now.
