Firefox 8 crashed, and now it shows up as "isn't responding" in the force quit window. Mac Snow Leopard. I tried opening in safe mode, but that crashes, too. What can I do?

I tried to go from Google News to fetlife.com, and the browser crashed.

Since then, I've tried to reopen the browser. I rebooted the computer. I tried opening the browser in safe mode. It shows up for a few seconds with the "this is embarrassing" screen, but it won't respond after that. You get the spinning wheel, then have to force quit.

Each time I've forced it to quit, I've sent in a report, but the later ones don't show up in the Firefox crash reports. The last one that shows is the ID I posted here.
