I just installed Mojave (OS X 10.14) and I've downloaded Firefox 5 times so far...all of the version 63.0s install fine but when I run them, they just put Firefox in the drop-down menu (nothing else) and within a minute or so, consume all of the available (real and virtual) memory - 60+ GB!

I can only Force Quit it. I can't use it at all.

The main reason I updated to Mojave (I was running 10.8) was to use Firefox!

Thanks for helping... Dave

Just updated to 10.14.1 (Mojave update) and still the same problem: launching Firefox doesn't ever get me a window, the process just consumes all the available memory (real and virtual) until the OS sends me a message to force quit Firefox.

Safari and Chrome and Opera do not create this problem.

I tried downgrading to no avail.

I can't believe that I'm alone here, but I also can't believe there isn't a simple solution...any advice is welcomed!

I really miss Firefox!
