Firefox will not run under Mojave in my profile. I did a clean install of Mojave, updated to 10.14.1 and Firefox is the only application to not run...it simply eats up all available memory until the OSX requires me to force quit.

I tried installing it under a test user account and it works fine.

There is something in my profile that is stopping this from working!

Please help...Safari and Chrome are driving me nuts!

Here's the force quit crash report: Date/Time: 2018-11-13 16:21:42 -0800 End time: 2018-11-13 16:21:44 -0800 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.14.1 (Build 18B75) Architecture: x86_64 Report Version: 27
