Our firefox crashes as it starts up. Can't find any solutions that work on your website. Have to have firefox for business purposes. Please help!

Hello,
We have used Firefox for years. We have Mac 10.6.8 and Firefox 11.0. It has been working fine until today. I have no idea what could have messed it up. Now every time we try to start it up an error box appears announcing that the application has crashed. My computer has already sent you quite a few error reports. I have to have Firefox for business purposes. Would appreciate help as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Nikol Jones

Please do the following:
Visit www.getfirefox.com in safari, download and install Firefox 17.0.1. Try to open Firefox. If that doesn't work, follow these instructions:
#Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
#Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' 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 Silently at Start-up

Firefox has been crashing on start-up for the past few weeks. I've tried safe mode, a profile reset, a clean re-install, and several clean installs of different versions (4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 6.0b1) in attempts to resolve this, all without success. Occasionally Firefox will start successfully and will stay stable once it has, but this is a very rare occurrance. I've run scans with Avast Antivirus, Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware, which all came back clean.
The only changes to the system around the time the problem started were CPU and RAM upgrades (with new, known-good parts) and a BIOS update required to use the new CPU. Firefox is the only program crashing in any way/shape/form since this upgrade.

Hey Seifer10357,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox crashes - will not start at all

If I try and start Firefox all I get is the Mozilla Crash Reporter, if I try and restart Fireofox from the Crash Reporter screen all I get presented with is the Mozila Crash Reporter again. If I try and submit a crash report the Crash Reporter states "there was a problem submitting your report", hence no crash ID available.
The issue started when I updated my old, maybe version 5, Firefox with version 9, since then I have been unable to start Firefox.
I have tried unistalling Firefox, including deleting personal settings, and restarting the PC in between deleting Firefox and attempting to reinstall it. None of this works. Firefox will also not start in safe mode.
Mozilla Crash Reporter details added to the below Troubleshooting Information info box.

Does Firefox start if you boot Windows in Safe mode (press F8 on the boot window)?

Hossein,
As Guido said, you can use BootCamp to partition the drive. If you want to install, or reinstall Windows. You would launch BootCamp and it will actually guide you through the installation, you will only need to decide how large a partition you want. I would use BootCamp, I would not use disk utility. When you have installed Windows and you want to boot into windows, when you start your MBP hold down the option key, this will give you trha option of booting Mac OSX or Windows.

Firefox 8 doesn't start in Fedora 12

Downloaded firefox-8.0.tar.bz2 from getfirefox.com, unpacked, but Firefox 8.0 doesn't start:
[root@seb4 firefox]# ./firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I already have Firefox 3.6 installed as part of Fedora 12 and it works fine, but it's too old for some websites.

FF isn't working => change your OS. What kind of "solution" is that? Also I already have the FF version installed by the SM.
I am switching to Chrome, which works *just* fine. Thank you.

Firefox crashes before it starts

since 01/01/2012, i can´t use firefox anymore because it crashes before i can open it. everything i see is a pop-up window which says that I can report it to you.
i already tried everything which is written on your support page (trying to open it in safe mode e.g.), but it still crashes then.
my antivirus programme told me, there was a file with kind of a virus the day, when firefox crashed for the first time

Firefox 19 will not start in any mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled with out effect. Win7 w/updates, ZoneAlarm AV and FW. ATI 6570 w/updates

Yesterday, FF 19 stopped working on one of two similar desktops. Initially it did start in safe mode but it doesn't any longer. Removed the application multiple times with Window's control panel and Revo Uninstaller. Original application directory deleted and registry scanned for remnants.

When I go to click on FF icon Firefox crashes before it starts...

FF was working just fine... I was on Facebook... left my computer (Mac OS X 10.5.8) for about an hour (everything was left on)... when I got back FF had crashed, I did the usual, sent report and restarted... the icon would bounce, looked like it would start and poof crash report... I tried a few times same thing, before FF would even start it crashed... left it for a while... came back, same thing... I deleted it and reinstalled it, same thing... it's been 2 days almost 3 now, and it is still the same thing... I tried to find the previous version 3.6.3 (which worked just fine) and can't seem to install it... please help... I prefer Firefox than any other browser... I would really appreciate it if you would look into this problem.. I understand a lot of users are having all sorts of problems with the new version 3.6.4... Please help... Thank you...

Firefox crashes after dragging and dropping any component.

When the TorButton add-on is enabled, Firefox will crash when an attempt is made to drag and drop any component. This includes tabs, text, images, and any other item drag-and-drop-able under normal circumstances.
This is a known bug and info lives at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715885 but I don't know if any fix has been found.
I am running version 3.6 of Firefox, which I recognize is rather out of date. This is because I have yet to update from OS X 10.4.
Thank you for any input you have.

It looks like the patch for this crash hasn't been checked in, and unfortunately, since firefox 3.6.28 is the last planned update for 3.6, it doesn't look like it will ever be fixed on that branch :(

Firefox crashes everytime I start it and Trend Mirco Pops up with a Malicious URL

Every time I start firefox it hangs or locks up with Not Responding. I've tried it in safe mode but still have problems. Also just before the program hangs my Trend Micro window pops up and says that it blocked a threat. http://convertnews.ru/kernal/index.php. These problems only started a two weeks ago. I've run multiple virus scans and which don't come up with any problems. I can't get a crash ID because it never asks to report the crash. This problem is happening on ALL my computer, laptop, home computer, work computer. Everyone that uses Firefox. I've disabled the add-ons but still the problem persists. Usually it happens when I first start up Firefox for the first time of the day. Getting really tired of these problems.

Try renaming the folder "Elements Organizer" and "Online Services". These folder are present at C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe. After renaming these folders, application should launch without crashing.

Firefox crashes when trying to load any webpage

I can open firefox and it is fine, but as soon as i try and search from the google tab or enter any web address in the web address bar it crashes. Everytime, every website. Nothing works.
I have tried deleting firefox and my profile and re-installing both firefox and my profile. I have tried windows update, i have tried safe mode (still crashes in safe mode), i have updated all the plugins to the latest version.
The only thing that works is if i log out of my windows profile and then log in as administrator and it works in the administrator profile
Crash ID is the following :

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox crashes at every start

First I could open Firefox and it crashed after a few minutes. When I tried it again, the same happened. I could start Firefox in the safe mode. Now, not even this works. When I start Firefox the screen becomes black and the computer freezes for a second. When I click with the mouse there opens a window which tells me that Firefox does not answer, so I close it. This happens in the safe mode, too.
I checked after a computer virus, but there are none. Furthermore I updated everything (except Firefox, because I can't open it and didn't find an option to update it), but nothing.

Your crash report is at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/70c7e7fc-663e-4001-9105-9f1732120808 and it links to the related bugs.
This looks like a problem that is happening when you have Google set as your Firefox home page. Try starting in [[Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] again (hold down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox). If you can get it to start, change your home page to something other than Google, or reset the default home page (about:home) - see [[How to set the home page]].

Firefox crashes/does not start up

does not start even in safe mode
upgrade wont work too
Alert message shown on startup:

You can try to reset Firefox.

Firefox apparently doesn't start from the icon, but it says it is active when the computer is shut down.

Apparently Firefox is running, but I can't see any evidence of this on the screen. When I reboot the computer, usually I can call up and use Firefox as usual. This is quite a nuisance, as it happens several times an hour. No notification of a crash is provided, ever.
