Mal: Can you please type:about crashes in the URL bar and paste the crash report ID? Also include the troubleshooting information which you can get from Help | Troubleshooting Information.
Mal: What I meant in Comment 1 is to go into your browser URL bar (where you load web sites) and type about:crashes - there were will be a report ID that looks something like: bp-cb73789a-3c60-4cb4-bcac-35cf32120128
Bit difficult to type about:crashes in URL bar when the browser will not open at all.
You can try starting in safe mode to see if you can actually get Firefox to start without crashing: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode
Tried holding down the 'option' key and starting Firefox according the the instructions but still get the crash report dialogue box and nothing else.
Find the latest crash ID in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
(In reply to Scoobidiver from comment #6) > %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted. I meant ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Crash Reports/submitted
Mal: Thanks so much for persevering and getting us the crash ID. Your crash appears to be a duplicate of Bug 699789. I will dupe to that bug and you can follow the progress there as we look to what may be causing it.
