It can be used to determine if a problem is theme or extension related.nice trick, but does not work for me :(. I tried all combinations of removing: - Reset toolbars/controls - Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults - Reset all user preferences...
Join the support-firefox mailing list at lists.mozilla.org and ask about this there.
Also try the mozilla-zine knowledge base: http://kb.mozillazine.org/ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox And consider creating a new profile and testing Firefox with that:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile . Under Linux, you'd create a new profile using "firefox -ProfileManager"
