Firefox has suddenly stopped opening on Mac 10.6.3. It opens and every thing is there but the pages are blank. I tried the profile through terminal and it says "no such file or directory"

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

If you use the Finder to go to your Applications folder, is Firefox there?

more options

Yes, it's there. I am using Safari for the moment. It's strange cos this is on my laptop. When I put Snow Leopard on my IMac I lost Firefox then.

Since updating to Snow leopard I cannot download.When I click on download it changes to a grey sheet. I can't do a software update either as it tells me am not connected to the net when I am. Could this all be part of the same problem?

Yeah, it's probably the same issue. When I updated to Snow Leopard (from Leopard) I didn't have any problems. Maybe the folks in the Apple forums might be able to help. http://discussions.info.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=263
