Hi!

It worked before but suddenly stopped working. When I click the icon, it looks for a second that firefox will start since the icon shows in the dock for half a second, but it then disappears and the program doesn't start. It doesnt even tell me that something is wrong. I have tried open the terminal and entered "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P" but all I get in the terminal is this message "The patch directory path is not valid for this application (/Users/jonatanf./Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox/updates/0)".

I hope you can help me so i wont have to browse on chrome anymore.
