Firefox crashes
Install latest version & try to start Firefox the Mozilla Crash Reporter appears. I never get the Firefox window. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same problem. Uninstalled, installed 3.6 - works. Uninstall 3.6, reinstall 15.0.1 - still crashes at start.

How can I do this if I never get the Firefox window?
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
- On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
- On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
- Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
Thanks cor-el. That fixed it. Goodbye IE/Opera!
