It seems that firefox installed correctly, but then it wouldn't open. I restarted my computer and still the same problem. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still the same problem.

Also having the same problem. I have tried the following with no luck.

  • Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
  • deleting the .parentlock file
  • deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
  • Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
  • Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again


all with no luck. Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine!  ;) If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help. Thanks
