You would have to remove that plugin from the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder.

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

Hello dan197, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.

Click the Finder icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the Go menu, hold down the option or alt key and select Library. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.

  1. Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
  2. Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.

Thanks in advance!

You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

That is a problem with the "Facebook Photo Uploader" (fbplugin).
