Firefox crashes on OS X Yosemite

Firefox crashes when I load any page. This started happening when I migrated to a new Mac running OS X Yosemite. However, it does not happen on another Mac running Yosemite.

I've updated to 33.0.3. It happens in Safe Mode. I've reset Firefox and even deleted my profile and started fresh. I've removed questionable plugins and fonts. No change. It even crashes when trying to process a crash report.

Chosen solution

And there it is. Now that I've posted I can see the crash log, which shows the dreaded fbplugin. I was looking in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, not ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins when I cleaned up.

Killed it with fire, now I'm back up and running.
