Upgraded to Firefox 8, but now it won't open-- even in Safe Mode. It crashes upon opening.

My husband installed Firefox 8 today. Since then, he can't open Firefox - it tries to open but immediately crashes and asks to send an error report. He's researched your help pages, tried to load Firefox in Safemode, but same thing occurs. Has rebooted numerous times. He "Restored to an earlier time in the day" using Norton GoBack after uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalled it. Same exact problem occured. The restore option is no longer available. He using a Dell PC with Windows XP3. It's not on this PC - His PC is now not working well, so if you have specific questions about his OS/add-ons, let us know. Thanks

I had the exact same problem. If you happen to have an old version of Roboform installed try closing it and then running FF. Roboform was making mine crash to the error report every time.

The newest version of Roboform does work in FF8.
