Firefox crashed today.....I downloaded a fresh copy and it continues to crash. I have to Force Quit the application. I do not want to lose all of the bookmarks. At this point in time I am unable to export the bookmarks to a different browser.

I have also run disk utilities to correct the disk permissions.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration or a problem with the JIT compiler is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I held down the OPTION key while starting Firefox. Up popped a blank window with the never ending spinning beach ball. When I selected Force Quit from the Apple menu it indicated that Firefox was not responding.
