#Mozilla firefox for mac 10.6.8 update

I did try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but got the same results. Forced quit tried again became unresponsive almost immediately rinse repeat… At first I was able to click on the FF menu tab, but when I clicked on 'preferences', FF stopped responding and my pinwheel just kept spinning in all its rainbow glory. Safe mode only pretended to give a result: the window came up, my set homepage was there, but I was unable to do anything. Uninstalled that and reinstalled the latest version again, but still the same result. I did try downgrading to the previous version, but the result was identical. Fired her up, but FF still wasn't feeling so foxy. I uninstalled FF, downloaded this latest version directly from the website, and installed. Then tried restarting the whole computer, but to no avail. Tried restarting, but only got the same completely blank window as sunn圓6, with zero functionality and our favorite indefinitely spinning pinwheel. In the process of attempting to start up again, FF crashed and quit.
