Firefox on Mac crashes with error log "EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)"
For many months Firefox has been crashing shortly after opening. I am using vs 3.6.9 now and it has crashed also. I will try to paste it in here. The log which runs too long so I'll truncate it.

Is there anything I can do to be able to use firefox, something temporary or a quick-fix?
No answer to this problem for 3 weeks and 12 others have posted that they have the same problem. My quick fix has been to download the remarkable Google Chrome for the Mac.
go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> and disable File Sharing. This worked for me!! found the solution in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2135265&tstart=0
