Firefox 33.1.1 (newest) will not start with OS X 10.10.2.
I'm a OS X developer and yesterday upgraded to OS X 10.10.2 and now Firefox will not start. I get the menu bar and then the progress spinner just spins.
The force quit report is rather long, but I use Firefox as my default browser and miss it rather quickly.
Thank you! John
Here is a copy of the force quit report:

Well there are certainly a number of signatures that are being seen in the current versions of others top crashers in last 7 days for Mac OS like Corefoundation, libdispatch.dylib etc. But I would not know where to start from this angle andI have not seen any crash reports for 10.10.2 yet.
This is the boiler plate for troubleshooting start up issues with Firefox and can narrow down to make sure its not a plugin or something trivial: Firefox won't start - find solutions
Starting Firefox with the Profile Manager may also reveal any errors with the profile Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles
Please post back with the results, however to set the right expectations, this is looking like a bug will need to be filled. Bugzilla.mozilla.org will be where that happens :-)
