Firefox updated overnight, now crashes on start

more options

Firefox was working fine last night. I remember that it popped up saying it had updated. This morning I go to run it, and it crashes immediately. Try again, same thing. Try to run it in safe mode - Same thing.

So I put it through the error checker, and it spit out this:

Signature js_InflateString UUID b5206a58-47a4-417d-acaf-982b52100625 Time 2010-06-25 08:56:33.707154 Uptime 5 Last Crash 98 seconds before submission Install Age 132 seconds since version was first installed.

Of course I can't make sense of this, so I'm hoping someone here can. How can I rollback to the version I was running until today?

Operating system

Windows XP Home SP2

Same thing for me, probably best to go ahead and downgrade to 3.6.3. Here's a link!
