John, I'm having same trouble with firefox - i can only open it in safe mode. Tried removing it and library, plus all extensions etc. Common denominator seems to be a 1password conflict, and I have been in touch with Dave from 1password who is trying to help me out. If I get it resolved, will post to the group. Just to let you know this isn't an isolated problem.... Best regards
