I've just updated to firefox 10 on my macbook and it keeps crashing. My OS is up to date (OSX 10.5.8.) I've tried it in safe mode with add ons and extensions disabled. No difference. Sometimes it crashes immediately, sometimes I can get to a site or 2 before it crashes, but it always crashes. Never had this problem before I updated to 10.

Chosen solution

Do you use Flip4Mac or maybe a version of Flash that you didn't get from Adobe (there's a common one floating around after Adobe dropped support for 10.5)?

Both of those plugins are known to crash Firefox on OSX 10.5

FWIW CrashID given aside leads to report

No idea if that signature is unique to these crashes, no bugs filed yet, but at least this allows the solved post to be found and linked to the signature.
