Firefox 6 crashes when opened. I booted into safe mode an pressed addons from the menu and it crashes again. I disable all addons permanently with the safe mode option and restart same problem occurs.

That sounds pretty bad, but the problem might lie within your profile. Try creating a new profile and see if that helps.

No joy there :( A new profile has the same crash, i.e. crashes instantly upon start.

That is quite odd. The only other thing I can think of is to reinstall firefox. When you went into safe mode, did you continue in safe mode, or did you just disable addons? Safe mode also disables hardware acceleration, reverts settings etc.

Hmm still crashes after a standard uninstall /reinstall removing all userdata.

More detail: Booted into safe mode its starts. However when i press addons from the menu it crashes.

Then I used the safe mode splash screen to disable all addons and the same thing happens I can load but as soon as I press addons menu it crashes again.

I was looking at your crash info , and I can't find any solutions. I hope someone more knowledgeable sees this thread.

The crash report that you posted indicates a problem with the Flash plugin.
