As soon as I open Firefox and my homepage (Google) loads, the spinning wheel starts and never stops. I can't reset Firefox because the wheel starts before I can click Help. This has never happened before. I haven't updated or installed anything new that might interfere. Now I can't use Firefox. Safari works fine but all my stuff is in Firefox. Should I uninstall Firefox and reinstall it? Will I lose my bookmarks, passwords, etc?

You can try to launch Firefox via a terminal window and add about:blank to the command line after the path to the Firefox application.

You can also try to create a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder to override the current home page. 

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

The prefs.js file and the user.js file are located in the Firefox profile folder, see Modifying preferences:
