Hi Micah, output below. However - it looks like the breakage is due to profile
issues.
firefox -ProfileManager, and creating a new profile worked. I was able to copy
my old extensions directory to the new profile, and all the extensions worked
on the new profile. Also tried removing XPC.mfasl, XUL.mfasl etc from my old
profile dir. - no luck on having the old profile directory work. So I tried
restoring my old profile directory from a backup; trying to launch produced
this message: 'Malformed File: Firefox could no install this item because
"install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist.
Please contact the author about this problem."; after clicking ok, it started
with what looked like blank profile.
