Cannot open / start Firefox AT ALL since 74.0.1 update on Mac yesterday. Tried all the things. Please help.

Ever since the update, I cannot open Firefox at all.

I'm currently on a Macbook Pro 13 inch / 2014 running Mojave 10.14.6 (on purpose. I despise Catalina).

Since yesterday, I've tried:

- opening in Safe Mode

- two clean installs

- checking profiles

- running maintenance with Onyx (cleaned caches, etc.)

- running Malwarebytes (no flags)

. . . and nothing is happening.

I went through the same thing with the Firefox version just before 74 and never found a resolution to it. (I wasn't bothered much as I was spending more time on other devices that had Firefox installed and working.)

But now I'm back to my reg. computer. Firefox is my absolute all-time favorite browser (created by my absolute favorite folks: Mozilla!), and I'd really like to be able to use your wondrous software.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Best—

PS: I'll go ahead and reset the PRAM to see if that helps, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like kernel panic, so. . . ?
