Firefox 3.6.6 for Mac 10.4.11 crashes before it opens

I updated my firefox to the latest 3.6.6. Unfortunately, it crashes before it opens. Why? It would not even give me a crash ID number because it never opens at all. The older version of firefox works though.
== Crash ID(s) ==

Hello.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac, constantly freezes and crashes, have to force quit, bad bugs. Switching to Safari.

    I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1, and it now constantly freezes, won't respond at all, and has to be force quit and restarted. Within less than 5 minutes of use, over and over and over... I'm assuming it is a bug in the Mac version.... Am switching to Safari as I can't waste this much time constantly quitting and restarting and getting my tabs all back up. Any suggestions on ways to let Firefox know about the bug would be greatly appreciated. It worked fine until I upgraded :( Am running Mac OS X 10.6.7

    I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

    something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

  • I Can't install Firefox Sync on Firefox 25.0.1 for Mac, which I need to use Firefox on iphone.

    When I tried to install Firefox sync it said it was not compatible with firefox 25.0.1.
    Mac 10.6.8 is the most my system can handle.
    I have an iphone 4 running iOS 7.0.3.
    I want to use firefox on my iphone and believe i need to install Firefox Sync to accomplish this. Is there anyway where i can run firefox on my iphone?
    Syncing between the Mac and the iphone would be good but is not essential.

    This is disappointing, but thank you very much for your time. This will save me many hours of frustration.

  • History, bookmarks and navigation have stopped working in firefox 3.6.8 for mac

    Firefox 3.6.8; Mac OS 10.5.8
    The history function doesn't record anything; all my bookmarks are gone; I can't make any new bookmarks either. I tried safe mode, nothing changed. My forward/back arrows go away some times too. I tried reinstalling firefox and repairing permissions. I found the bookmarks file but it is the default one - not mine. Even the default firefox bookmarks won't show up! What is the problem?

  • Autoscrolling stopped working in Firefox 3.6.28 for Mac OS 10.4

    I have two Mac G4 desktop computers and have always had autoscrolling Firefox. Now the feature is no longer working. I don't recall updating Firefox recently, but can't go beyond my current version, 3.6.28 because the machines are not Intel.
    The autoscroll is very useful. I have tried checking the Preferences..Autoscrolling is checked. I have tried restarting. No luck. I cannot start in Safe Mode as there is no option for it.
    If there is some fix for this, it's not apparent on the Firefox Help Website.
    So any suggestion that would restore this feature will be very much appreciated. It doesn't seem to be a plug in, or and add on. My feeling is there may be some resetting procedure necessary...but I have no idea how to do that. Again, help to restore Autoscrolling very much appreciated. It worked for years...all I had to do was press the middle mouse button. It could go slow and faster. Now what happens when I press the middle button is that I get my dashboard apps. Hmm.
    Thanks!

  • Firefox 3.6.24 (for Mac) hangs watching Youtube videos

    Firefox 3.6 for Mac hangs (spinning wheel) while watching videos on Youtube.com. There is no problem selecting a video, but once a video starts to play, Firefox shows the spinning wheel if any mouse action is attempted. The video continues to play fine, but no mouse action can be taken. This happens with most, though not all youtube videos.
    This started to happen a few days ago (late Oct?) after Youtube made cosmetic changes to its webpages. I am pretty sure that these changes are the cause.
    '''Does anyone else have this problem?
    Can anyone suggest a workaround?'''
    System: 2009 MacBook Pro, 4GB memory
    Notes:
    My Safari - an older version 3 - doesn't have this problem. Of course, it doesn't show the new features of the Youtube pages.
    I am up-to-date with Adobe Flash Player - version 10 - which I had before the problem began to appear. I cannot try version 11 because I don't have OS X 10.6. I've tried disabling "hardware acceleration" within Flash Player Settings, to no avail.
    I haven't changed any of my plugins or extensions, except update DownloadHelper.
    I tried a suggestion found in another post to no avail: increase the value of "browser.sessionstore.interval".

    I found the cause and the fix !
    Apparently, I had somehow "caught" the new Gray Youtube Interface - where the backrounds of all youtube pages are gray.
    I cured that ailment by deleting all youtube cookies.
    Now I have the old youtube pages, and no more hangs !
    Isn't there anyone else who experiences hangs with the new youtube interface?
    I don't want Youtube making my Mac act like an expensive paperweight.

  • Hi, how is Firefox as a browser for Mac

    Hi, can someone tell me if it is safe to use Firefox as a browser for you Mac and doe's it cause any problems?

    Firefox is my primary browser and it does not cause any harm to your MBP or problems in general.  I my opinion, I find it superior to Safari.  Others may have different thoughts.  I suggest you download it and try it and form your own opinion.
    Ciao.
