Firefox won't load ever since I switched to permanent private browsing. Console errors.
I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. Firefox will open but hang with a blank new tab and a spinny pinwheel of death. No error messages, and I have to force quit in order to exit. Here's what I've done so far:
Waited. Restarted computer. Updated my java applet then restarted. Scanned for malware with both Avast and ClamXav. And nope, not a connection problem.
Here's what my console says about the latest attempt at opening Firefox... 4/1/15 3:49:41.000 PM kernel: firefox (map: 0xffffff800b49e1d0) triggered DYLD shared region unnest for map: 0xffffff800b49e1d0, region 0x7fff84800000->0x7fff84a00000. While not abnormal for debuggers, this increases system memory footprint until the target exits. 4/1/15 3:49:43.163 PM [0x0-0x3e03e].org.mozilla.firefox: Failed to find nss3 in installed directory, checking system paths. 4/1/15 3:49:43.163 PM [0x0-0x3e03e].org.mozilla.firefox: SSL Observatory: Failed to initialize NSS component:Error: couldn't open library libnss3.dylib 4/1/15 3:50:05.569 PM [0x0-0x3e03e].org.mozilla.firefox: ?[NPAPI 788] ###!!!

Can someone with expertise decrypt this and help me out? Thanks!

Perhaps trying a new profile with the same setting might determine if this is a corrupt profile issue: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles

You can try to move the current Firefox installation to the trash and reinstall a freshly downloaded Firefox version to do a clean reinstall.
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:
Thanks, guigs2...it was a corrupted profile. Strange that this would have happened.
