Tried to fix Firefox crashes, lost all my bookmarks + FF app support folder
I tried to create a new user profile to solve the Ugh! Firefox has crashed problem. Now my Firefox application support file has disappeared! And I appear to have lost all my bookmarks. I tried to restore from Time machine. Didn't work.

As a Windows person, I find it hard to interpret Mac crash reports. And since the "signature" was different in each of the reports I looked at, it's difficult to find the common thread.
If this occurs often, could you try these two tests (separately):
(1) Disable all plugins by setting them to "never Activate"
Either:
- Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Plugins.
Then you can disable-by-default on the right side.
Any improvement?
(2) Try Firefox's Safe Mode
In its Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, JavaScript compilers, userChrome.css/userContent.css, and some other features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the option/alt key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement?
Thanks - I did what you suggest. Firefox still crashes, but a lot less. I'm OK with this for now. Thanks!
