How do I get past checking addons when I cant open Firefox after downloading Firefox35.0? It seems to download fine but then it gets to the point of checking Addon compatibility and stops.

You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift/Options key.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
