Linux sounds scary but many now look similar to Windows and live DVD/CD will boot into the OS and likely offer a nice easy way to launch Firefox. At this stage we are simply ruling out hardware. If it doesn't work in Linux we can possibly assist in using Linux tools to debug the issue but most expertise here will be Windows.
Good idea for the Linux test, this will tell Ken for sure if it is Windows or hardware.
