Firefox crashed on my Mac, already tried updating to 9.0.1, won't load, next step?

I was running FF 8.something. My mac is running OS 10.6.8. Firefox locked while checking history and didn't subsequently load after doing a forced quit and a reboot. I updated to FF 9.0.1 and it locks up while loading. I also updated plugins, notably, Silverlight and Adobe.
What do I try next?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing!

What do I do if Firefox crashes a few secs after trying to load any animated material, be it ads at the side of Cheezburger websites, YouTube videos, or Hulu?

I just bought a new HP Pavilion 23 inch All-In-One desktop, the one without a modem on the side because everything stands straight up. I'm usually technically literate and can figure most things out easily. This, however, dumbfounds me because I have to think and know exactly how something does what, and I cannot come up with an answer at all. Anyway I downloaded Flash a couple more times to try to fix this problem, but it hasn't gone away. What it does, is, whenever I want to watch [or don't want to watch, in some side-of-website-video-ads] the Firefox tab with the animation will be very sensitive, and the slightest click to any website, such as the next Cheezburger Website page, or just the fact that a video is loading on YouTube or on Hulu will cause Adobe Flash Player to crash within a few milliseconds. It does let you hear the first 5 seconds or so of the video before it stops [a few seconds after Adobe's unresponsiveness, I might add] due to Adobe not responding and therefore crashing. In most cases where the video does make it crash, the majority of the time either the video's picture won't load before it crashes, or, even if a picture does attempt to load, it's just a dark forest green color instead of the video's picture on YouTube. If I'm just looking at non-moving pictures and small GIFs, such as the funnies at Cheezburger websites or the funnies at Explosm.net, it doesn't crash on me. The majority of the videos I watch are Anime related. I don't want to have to use Google Chrome, since I trust Firefox to catch ads from popping up, which is very nice, but I might have to if this is not resolved.

Is anyone here to help?

If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

Firefox crashes upon opening, despite having tried all help suggestions and re-installing new version.

I have a MAC: 2006, but intel Core Duo; version 10.4.11
I have had some difficulties with my Firefox recently: crashing occasionally, not always loading a page on the first try, saved e-mails or passwords working off and on. I trashed my current version of Firefox (I was told by my tech guys to uninstall it and download a new version, but I couldn't find an uninstall package for mozilla, so I dragged it to the Trash) and I uninstalled flip4MAC, too. I tried to download version 4, but my system could not run it, so I downloaded 3. 16. 12 - it worked really great for a while, but then started to revert to its old problems and my tech guys said I might not have done a complete uninstall- I am a bit of a techno-peasant, so I may have not done it properly. In the meantime, I upgraded my Internet service with Bell and was going to download Snow Leopard- I have Tiger- to see if that helped, but after the upgrade, Mozilla won't even open at all; the window comes up with a tab that says "restore session" and it freezes immediately and then closes with a crash report and an icon in the apps bar called "Crash Reporter." I have copied the incident report and am including it with this email. Bell tech support says it is not their issue, it's mine, which I think is probably correct, but why did it completely crash after the upgrade?
I did go on Mozilla Firefox's website for support through Safari, and tried all the suggestions, but Safari's Mozilla Firefox only displays the search bar and not the address bar, so I used the tip to got ''library/,'' etc to get the crash i.d. I was able to get the i.d., but when I typed in the url with my crash id, I got an error message: File not Found. I tried it more than once, so I copied it from one of the reports sent to you guys and I only hope that you are able to use the crash info I submitted below (after Trouble shooting info).

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

FIREFOX CRASHES WHEN I OPEN IT TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL AND STILL WILL NOT WORK

EVERYTIME I TRY TO USE FIREFOX IT CLOSES IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED TO UNINSTALL IT BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL. WHEN I TRIED TO RE DOWNLOAD IT AND RUN FIREFOX 4.0 IT WONT DO IT CAUSE IT SAYS ITS STILL TRYING TO DELETE THE OLD ONE AND KEEPS RESTARTING MY COMPUTER WITHOUT DELETING IT OR INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.

I would expect wording related to connection, but see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Mac OS X Update Combined 10.5.8 won't install

I downloaded the OS X update for 3 hours...when it was about to install it said that apple must have changed something because it won't install. i forgot what the whole dialogue box said but it was something like that. how do i update my OS if it won't install? bummer.

Download the update from here:

Updated osx and now mail won't load

Hi all,
I've updated my operating system so that I could go on to upgrade to Lion, but in the interim my mail won't load - its telling me "an error occured while importing. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again"...I can't even locate my "home" folder on my system...
Any ideas how I can fix this? And will upgrading to Lion without the mail box being fixed perhaps fix it?

Sounds like something went pear-shaped somewhere along the line. I suggest reinstalling like this:
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop.
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those if necessary.

Firefox crash on startup after most recent update?

Once Firefox installed the most recent update, it will no longer open. It attempts to open, but immediately crashes and the crash report opens. I have tried to uninstall (deleting profile as well) and reinstall, but it continues to crash. This is the most recent version of Firefox, 8.0 I think. Pleeeease help, I hate IE.

No. None of those are the issues. I had already gone through a lot of the help stuff before I posted this.
And as I explained earlier, there is no crash ID listed that I can see.
