Comment(by GentlemanGent):

 New to Tor...first time ever attempting to download and run TBB.

 First attempt: I downloaded the non-64bit version onto an external
 hardrive and opened Tor from there. The firefox-bin problem popped up. Tor
 and Vidalia worked fine, just couldn't use any browser. I uninstalled the
 TBB.

 Second attempt (hours later): Realized I could use the 64bit version.
 Downloaded the 64bit version of TBB into my computer hardrive>Applications
 folder. I encountered the "Firefox-bin quit unexpectedly"- error again.
 Tor is able to create a circuit and stay connected. Vidalia is fully
 functional as well. There is a button to attempt to relaunch Firefox, and
 that was unsuccessful.


 Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon (64bit)
 Running:
 OSX 10.5.8
 Firefox 16.0.2

 Message log below (from 64 bit version):

 To answer rransom's question, I don't believe MacOS 10.5 receives security
 updates anymore. I can't remember the last time I got one.
