Spontaneously, Firefox has started crashing on me. And almost instantly - it opens, asks if i want to restore the old tabs, opens to the default page, then shuts down.
I've tried the usual run of solutions: I restarted, I deleted and reinstalled firefox, I deleted my preferences and reinstalled, I deleted everything with the word 'firefox' or 'mozilla' from my hard drive, and I tried both upgrading to the latest beta and downgrading a version. Same problem every time.
So I'm left with this: a.) Does anyone know how I might be able to rescue 'fox and get it working again? I keep thinking that maybe I missed some key file besides what's in my application support folder.
And b.) I did backup my profile in an attempt to save my bookmarks and such. It's locked away safely in a .zip file so I don't think it could possibly be interfering. But I can't import the bookmarks directly into safari because the backups are all saved as .json files instead of .html. Any thoughts? The easy way would be to open up firefox and do it, of course, but that's now impossible.
Oh, and here's the crash report. I'm running on a iMac G5:
