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.

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?
