this is an older article but looks like its well written. Never had a problem on older OS, but this doesn’t work on Lion, as I seem to not have ANY type of library folder in my user (seems to only be the main library folder now). So can you update the article? pretty please?!

Glad it fixed your issues Citigal, Roshan, & Pete! Love to hear that.

Haha. Thanks, Tekken. Great idea. I’ll look into it.

You are a GOD.

**I think you should submit this to the Firefox support team, as their current troubleshooting solution boils down to nothing more than, “uhh…your firewall and/or anti-virus software is probably blocking the newest version of Firefox.” Clearly they’re missing the root of the problem on Macs.

This is a helpful guide, but
If the problem has occurred after updating a certain extension or add-on, you don’t need to go through this process, you can open Firefox in the safe mood (Hold option and start the application) and disable that add-on/theme/extension
here’s the guide how to do so:
