For some strange reason Firefox keeps crashing upon opening today - was working fine yesterday and haven't made any changes.

I've gone through all the checks - latest version / plugin checks / Apple software updates but no apparent success.

I must say the Mozilla support seems a little lacking.

Any ideas?

* Missing system fonts can cause Firefox to crash at startup. [18] [19] [20] On Windows, run the System File Checker [21] to restore the missing fonts.
* Older versions of the Google Desktop application can cause Firefox to crash at startup. [22] Uninstall Google Desktop and then download and install the latest version.
* Crashes at startup can be caused by malicious software on your computer so you should check for malware. [23] [24]

For other possible causes and solutions, see the article Firefox crashes when you open it at support.mozilla.com.
