Firefox 35.0.1 will not start on Yosemite 10.10.2 even with clean install.

I've tried Safe Mode and I've looked for the crash report in Application Support, unfortunately, there is no Firefox folder! Version 33.1 works OK.
The Troubleshooting information below is for version 33, since I can't get 35 to start. I don't know if you'll find anything useful in there or not.

I hope this is useful. I note that the log entry above suggests I'm running 10.9.2 and the troubleshooting data shows, correctly, that it is 10.10.

There may not be a profile since the Firefox folder is empty.
Can you try to run the profile manager to start Firefox and see what the error is there:
In a terminal run this:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
It looks like you are using Intego to restore information.
Since there is no Firefox folder, I would recommend a reinstall. But before doing this, please make a back up of the profile folder: this will have the file path for where it is on your Mac [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]] - that is if there is a profile detected in the profile manager.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to default

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

    Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • After updating to 3.6.7, Firefox will not start on my Mac. Happened also with the last update. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running updated OX 10.6.4 on an i7.

    Last time (a few weeks ago) I had to uninstall firefox and reinstall it. Today I moved the last version to the trash and reinstalled the new version, but it still won't work. I obviously can't do this every time there is a new update. When I click on firefox, the icon bounces in the dock (like it's trying to open), and then nothing happens.

    Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox 13.0.1 will not start up in Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Reinstalling did not help, it doesnt create a window or a windows process in task manager. When i start it up, next to the pointer comes a loading circle but that stops and nothing happens.

    The Run as Administrator checkbox was empty and it didn't work. I checked it on and now firefox works. Resetting wouldn't help anything cause it's a clean install that won't start up...
    So starting up as administrator makes it work again...

  • Firefox 3.6.9. will not let me add any new bookmarks, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I would like to be able to bookmark new pages, please help.

    Regardless of whether I try bookmarking using ⌘D or the star on the right of the address bar or using the drop down Bookmarks tab, Firefox will not bookmark the page. It doesn't matter what page I am trying to bookmark, I can't bookmark any of them. And when I tried importing my bookmarks from Google Chrome, it imported the folder names but not the contents.

  • FireFox 3.6.15 will not start it is NOT compatable with Avast 6.0.1000 sandbox, it gives the following error when I try to open in sandbox: XULRunner Error: Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.14 maxVersion = 1.9.2.14

    Before FireFox was updated to ver 3.6.15, FF would open in Avast sandbox with no issue. Since the update to FF I can only open FF outside of Avast sandbox. Avast version 6.0.1000
    I turned off all Add-ons and still No Joy!
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit; I7-950 CPU, fresh reboot does not fix this issue.
    Just populated : Troubleshooting Information

    I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
    XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
    When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
    '''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
    '''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
    I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
    '''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
    Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
    The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software.

  • I has to have my harddrive wiped and I reinstalled Mozilla Firefox but now it will not start when I click on it on the desk top?

    I have used Mozilla Firefox on my lap top before and it worked well. However, since I had to have my harddrive wiped, I had to reinstall Firefox and now everytime I click on the icon to start it, my computer bluescreens! I do not know what to do?

    Did you reinstall from backups, or www.Mozilla.org?

  • Firefox 28 installs but will not start

    Firefox auto updated 2 days ago to version 28 and ever since it has not worked. The download came with 12 viruses, which were found and secured. The problem is when I start firefox 28, nothing happens. When I try to uninstall firefox it says that I must stop firefox first. I then restart my laptop and then uninstall firefox. I have 3 times removed version 28 and installed version 26 (from the Mozilla site) and version 26 works fine until it updates to version 28. I am now posting this using IE. My OS is Windows 7, version 6.1

    Hi Tom, thanks for the screen shot. Normally, when you download the Firefox installer, it has a file name like the following:
    Firefox Setup 28.0.exe
    So if you aren't getting that download from the official site, please check here first in the future: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
    By the way, those cookies in the screen shot are in the Windows/IE cookies folder. Firefox doesn't use that folder for Firefox cookies, but plugins and add-ons might use it.

  • Firefox 3.6.x will not start on Windows Vista after upgrading from 3.5.13

    I have tried to upgrade Firefox 3.5.x (currently 3.5.13) to several versions of Firefox 3.6.x (currently 3.6.10). Whenever I try to open Firefox after the 3.6.x install, nothing happens. This occurs even if I uninstall 3.5.x first. If I uninstall 3.6.x and reinstall 3.5.x everything works fine.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Ran a Windows 8 Refresh and reinstalled Firefox. Now, it will not start. Error: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

    This is a problem with the profiles.ini file and should be fixed by deleting the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.
