Firefox crashes when opening, even after reinstall, on OS X 10.5.8

Firefox will open but crash within 5 seconds of opening. I have done deep uninstall and clean install of firefox using both 3.6.12 and 4.0.7beta versions, but continue to face the same problem.
I have followed instructions on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/762084 to try to resolve my problem, attempting to create a new profile by accessing profile manager via Terminal. After entering Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager, the Mozilla Crash Manager pops up again informing me that Firefox has crashed.
Help is greatly appreciated. Prior to this problem, the last activity I remember doing on FF was checking my gmail. Other browsers like Safari and Chrome run fine, but is frustrating because FF is my primary browser!

Try running "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility (easily found with spotlight). Have been re-running Firefox without troubles after that.

Firefox crashes when opening "Extras Add-ons"

Firefox crashes when opening "Extras>Add-ons" (German user interface - I don't know what the according menu points are labeled in English).
The crash seems to be so severe that no crash ID is created. On every restart after a crash Firefox 4 is in offline mode and has to be switched back to online mode. If needed I could provide a screenshot of the error message shown when firefox crashes.
There were no problems on this machine running firefox 3.xx. The problems occurred after upgrading from firefox 3.6x to firefox 4.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox crashes when opening after upgrading to 6.0.2

After upgrading firefox to 6.0.2 firefox crashes upon opening. When I try to open firefox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens up. I tried all the sugestions on the support page. None of these worked. It will open with the computer in safe mode. I can not find where to start firefox in safe mode after upgrading.
I can open it now after running firefox in compatibility mode for windows XP sp2. The problem with this is I have to accept permission everytime I open firefox. If I change user account control settings to not ask every time firefox crashes on opening again.

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox.

Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

Firefox crashes when opening and will not open in safe mode

Recently FF3 started crashing when opening. It will not open in safe mode as well. I have uninstalled it including deleting the install folder and profile folders as well as registry entries. Upon reinstallation is will still not launch in any mode.
I have scanned for malware with several scanners and that has not found anything.
Here is the crash report cause - nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)
Anti-virus is Trend Micro Worry Free for Business. I uninstalled it and Firefox and then reinstalled only Firefox and still get the same thing.
I do not know what to try next.

Firefox crashes when opening a local file (a .jpg photo) click drive, click directory and it crashes.

Firefox crashes when clicking FILE / OPEN FILE / Drive (G:)/and when double clicking the directory containing the file. It happens every time I'm trying to open a local file. Must close, go to Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome which have no problems doing this.

You are running out of memory. In the stack notice this line:

Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file and add this
AddVMOption -Xmx1024M
That will bump it up some.

Firefox crashes when opened

I Firefox crashes upon opening, I have uninstalled and installed it now 2 times. On initial opening it will work, the future opens it doesn't.
None of these problems occurred until we upgraded to 9.0.1
Desk top running window 7

upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check
* getfirefox.com

Firefox crashes on opening even in safe mode so I can not adjust any settings - Crash ID: bp-6c9dc360-32db-4a34-968b-9474f2121230.

I have a 64 bit windows computer running Windows 7. For the past few months Firefox has been crashing on opening - occasionally opening on my husband's profile but not mine. I am now using IE9 running as administrator but would prefer to use Firefox.
I can not adjust any of the settings, plugins etc as I can not open the program at all. After the first attempt I have go to the task manager and stop firefox.exe. Then on my next opening attempt I get the error messages again. I have sent off numerous crash reports to Mozilla.
cheers

That looks like a problem with a component of your Nvidia display driver: [@ @0x0 | nvd3dum.dll@0x3a7434 ] 
I'm not sure how to fix this as an internet search on this file doesn't give any real solutions.
First make sure that you have the latest drivers for your graphics display card. 
If it started after an update of those drivers the see if you can role back to the previous version of the drivers.

Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

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 with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox crashes on start, even after complete reinstallation. No add-ons.

Every time I open FF, it completely freezes within 5 seconds. I've uninstalled & reinstalled, I've removed FF & all traces of its data using Revo uninstaller, then reinstalled, and still get the same results. I've seen where malware could cause this kind of problem, so I've run full scans with Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Scanner, and Kaspersky Security scanner. They all came back clean.
I'd love to submit a crash report, but apparently these crashes aren't generating them. The only thing in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports is an InstallTime file, dated today (the date of my most recent reinstall). I also can't add any troubleshooting information, as FF crashes before I can add anything.
Here's exactly what happens: I launch FF, whish responsive for the first couple seconds. After that, it freezes completely, and eventually "(Not Responding)" is added to the title bar. A little bit later, Windows pops up, asking if I'd like to check for a solution. That's it.
Win 7 Pro, FF 18.0.2.

Hello bob287, can you start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx18 Safe Mode] by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox ?
also, try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
thank you

Firefox crashes whenI open it...

'''bold text'''When I click on Firefox it crashes and a crash report appears. I submit it.
Today, I went to the questions area her and found out how to get the crash ID. I did that and followed the instructions: I went to another browser and typed in- http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ (followed by the crash ID number). It could not be located in order to find what was causing the crash.
I've tried this 3 times and all 3 times I was unsuccessful. I don't know what else to do. The crash started yesterday morinng and I'm having to use IE, which I dislike, in order to get on the Internet.
Might someone please help me?
Thank you,'
Leeflea.

Yes, that is normal. You want to turn that off? There are a couple of settings related to resuming your previous session after a crash:
(A) Resume automatically, but if Firefox crashes twice in a row, show a list of windows and tabs and let me choose; (default) 
(B) Don't resume automatically, always show a list of windows and tabs and let me choose; (I recommend this approach) or 
(C) Never resume automatically, and don't show the list.
Switching to B or C requires a visit to Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
For "B":
Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and change from 1 to 0 (that's a zero).
For "C":
Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' preference to switch its value from true to false.

Firefox Crashes when opening -- Win 8.1

Hi,
About a month ago i wiped my laptop and upgraded from 7 to 8.1. Now when i try and use Firefox, it will open for 1-2 seconds, then crash. I had AVG, un-installed that and now use Avast. I also used Hitman Pro alert, and un-installed that to make sure -- cant figure it out for the life of me.
Crash ID: bp-bb0b77dd-fd37-4132-8883-31aac2140423
Thanks.

In case your Firefox program files have become corrupted somehow, you may also want to replace them. The following method does not involve uninstalling Firefox, just hiding the existing program folder and re-running the installer.
(1) Download a fresh installer from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement in behavior?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins
