Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42
Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
Is that a different computer then the one you used to post this question?
Because your above posted Troubleshooting Information list list the latest Firefox 3.6.9 version.
If you have Mac OS X 10.4 or newer then do this:
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
