I've been using FF for years. Wiki works fine for me. Uninstall, and reinstall, check for updates.

I've been having similar problems with the latest version of Firefox, not on wikipedia though.  I believe the problem is already in the known bug list for the developers to work on, but it does seem to be a problem with the browser itself.

No problems here. I just updated to the latest version and it still works flawlessly. Hopefully a re-install will solve your problems.
