Any idea what this means?

I hope this helps.

It didn't give me any error messages.

Safe mode wouldn't work.

32 bit
Yes
No. It was random.
The normal way wouldn't work so I deleted my profile folder and tried to let firefox create a new profile folder for me.



Using these commands fixed it. The normal methods of fixing firefox didn't work. So I tried to be VERY VERY thorough. I don't think the chmod helped me fix my problem but I thought I would mention it just in case someone has this problem in the future.

Code:
sudo yum remove firefox
find / -iname *firefox* 2>/dev/null
find / -iname *mozilla* 2>/dev/null
sudo rm -r /usr/share/mozilla
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/mozilla
sudo yum remove xulrunner
sudo chmod a-rw /usr/share/kde4/services/useragentstrings/firefox*
sudo yum install firefox-4.0.1-1.fc15.i686
