When I click the firefox icon, it doesn't open at all. It just pops up the crash reported. It crashes immediately when I click the icon. It won't start in safe mode either. How can I get my Firefox working again?

I ended up having to install an older version of Firefox (9.0.1). Firefox 10 just won't work on my mac.

-> Firefox crashes when you open it

Check and tell if its working.

Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

IF that New Profile works then you can recover your History, Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.

Check and tell if its working.
