Firefox won't open on iMac

I don't use Firefox daily, so not sure exactly when it last opened ok on my iMac (26.5.2). So I downloaded Version=153.0.1 BuildID=20260727124451, and tried again. When attempting to launch, the icon in the dock bounced a few times, then nothing. When repeated, it only bounces once.

Likely unrelated, but I had very recently upgraded my LuLu app (4.4.3) from Objective-See. It monitors outbound connections. But disabling the app changes nothing.

I'm not a MacOS guru. I expect there is an error in a log file somewhere that reveals the problem, but I don't know where to look.

Suggestions?

Hi, We are using Horizon VDI terminal server. Firefox is installed on these servers. Some users get Firefox is already running but is not responding error. Ending Firefox via task manager does not work. I log off the user and have them log in again, but it does not work.

When I check, I see that the user's profile file cannot be created on any terminal server.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Through extensive troubleshooting, I am unable to get firefox to open at all.

I've done a full uninstall, cleaned all user directories, program files / x86, program data, appdata roaming and local, etc. I used the Microsoft uninstaller and even Revo Uninstaller to remove everything related to Firefox, did a restart and reinstall of the latest one and it still won't launch.

Firefox was previously working until a reboot occurred and now it won't launch.

Firefox 32 bit seems to work when installed, and running Firefox as an admin previously worked but no it no longer does.

I looked at the following articles: - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-wont-start-find-solutions - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles#w_start-the-profile-manager-when-firefox-is-closed

There's no malware on this machine (business EDR on it, even disabled it as a test and it still didn't open).

I was able to launch the profile manager but now I am unable to as the processes launch in task manager and then within 5 seconds they close.

Firefox is not running in the background for any user (I'm the only one logged in after a reboot as well)

I'm unable to open in troubleshoot mode either. Tried run as and admin cmd "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode

Ran SFC / scannow / DISM restore health commands as well and both came back fine / no integrity violations

Hi, my Machine updated from 140.0.4 to 141.0 since then I cannot start up Firefox anymore. On startup after a short pause the Crash Reporter shows up - interestingly the Crash Reporter may enter a endless loop and opens up multiple times. While that the CPU load is at 100%. I tried

  • `firefox --safe-mode`
  • `firefox --ProfileManager`

as well, for those I get the same behavior. I tried downgrading to 140.0.4 - after that a profile dialog shows up which tells me that a new profile needs to be created due to a downgrade. After that Firefox comes up fine with the new vanilla profile. IF Firefox updates to 141.0 (in background) the next startup with the vanilla profile doesn't work gain. Which brings me back to the initial problem.

Workaround for now:

  • download 140.0.4
  • create a fresh profile
  • immediately disable auto update
  • live with the empty profile

When I try to open Firefox it opens hundreds of crash reporter dialogue boxes and makes my computer slow to a halt, only restarting my computer can stop the onslaught. Resolving a dialogue/close all doesn't help.

I've tried holding shift to start in troubleshoot mode, but it just opens the crash boxes rather than the 'do you want to start in troubleshoot' box.

I've run a scan with Malwarebytes, no hits, and Windows says there's no updates for me. I can't see any specific crash number, the 'submit' file in my Crash Reports folder says this:

Hello! I am an avid user of firefox (especially with adblockers) on a windows 11 PC. Unfortunately, I have recently been experiencing an issue where when I attempt to open firefox, a window will open for a split second before instantly closing again. My PC is up to date, I have tried refreshing firefox and doing a clean install, but cannot seem to overcome the issue, or even open it in safe mode. Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks in advance!

I had two profiles, was in the process of trying to learn how to use the 2nd profile (as seen in the link below), which I still have no answer for. Somehow, maybe I held down SHIFT for too long and clicked on something by accident, idk, but somehow, I ended up REFRESHING the 2nd profile, causing it to delete everything I had done with it, and it backed up the old profile onto my desktop in the process. I figured I could just simply delete the new profile folder it had created and put back my old profile in the profile folder, but now, Firefox will not open at all, saying "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." How do I get it to recognize the profile folders again? OMG, I'm using Microsoft Edge, please, get me out of this!
