Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem, so how do I fix this?
This is what I see in the Firefox Problem Window:

Check and tell if its working.
I followed your suggestion, but it doesn't work. Firefox appears to be downloading, but I guess it doesn't, because the window always remains blank, and the installation icon (the one you usually see and move into the applications folder) never appears. I'm just left with the blank window.
Thanks for trying, anyway. Don't really know how to fix this, and there appears to be no phone help available, so I'm not sure what to do now....
-> Close Firefox (click Firefox button and click Exit OR File Menu -> Exit)
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the Option key while starting your Mozilla Firefox application. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the Option key again while clicking the button to start Firefox.)
- As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
- /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
Now try to download Firefox while you are using Firefox Safe Mode. Check and tell if its working.
