Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


While still in Safe Mode,

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Is there anything reported if you start Firefox via a terminal window?

Look at ALL the crashes in the last 2 or 3 weeks No contact from developers as if they are ignoring me. libxul.so is the culprit. I can't find the file in a terminal with find -depth -path . -iname libxul.so* from the root directory. How do I fix this?
