Hey MuscleboysNB,

Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.

There is also a lot of useful stuff in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) Knowledge Base article.

Hopefully this helps!

Hey Matt_G Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it still crashes just as much in safe mode.

That is a problem with RoboForm.

You still have version 7.7.3.0, so try to update RoboForm to the latest version

I have a similar problem only the crash was catastrophic. The Mac said: "You must shut down your system. Hold down the power button until the system shuts down and then restart ..."

This is the only hard crash I have ever had with a Mac. On reboot the crash (dump) report mentioned a problem with the stacks regarding Firefox and Sync. All my sync settings for Firefox are turned off? I sent the report to Apple. Sorry I couldn't get a screen capture but the only key left working was the power button??? iMac 24 OSX 10.7.3 Firefox 11.0

I have also had problems with Firefox not closing and having to force quit FF.
