My mac book running on OS X 10.6.8 was running real slow yesterday, so I shut it down, but had to force quit a few applications including firefox. All the other applications are running fine, but when I click on firefox to load it it just blinks. I'm using Safari now and its okay. So I can't even get to my firefox home page to reset as per instructions. It just won't load. I also tried loading it from the applications menu and also from a link in an email, no success.

Ok. FYI. I restarted a couple of more times, no success. I have 3 other users on this computer. Two which firefox did not load and one it did. After I loaded firefox successfully in that account, I closed out of that account and opened mine and tried firefox again and it worked. Why I don't know. Once on, I reset firefox and all seems good for now. Also reset the other accounts and they seem to be okay now also. Not sure what the glitch was, but if anyone knows please post. Thx.
