Start Firefox from Terminal on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)
- by George Francis
This is what I get when I try to start the executable:
Mac-Pro:MacOS george$ /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
Reason: Incompatible library version: Security requires version 9.0.0 or later, but libsqlite3.dylib provides version 1.0.0
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 9870 Trace/BPT trap "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
I also tried:
MacOS george$ open -a /Applications/Firefox
FSPathMakeRef(/Applications/Firefox) failed with error -43.
Is there a particular way to start the application from the command line?
