After clean install, when running firefox, the application begins to hang immediately, then crashes, and windows presents the following message: "Firefox has stopped working Windows can check online for a solution to the problem."

The it gives me three options: "Check online for a solution and close the program", "Close the program", or "Debug the program". Below that is a dropdown arrow for "View problem details".

When clicking "View problem details" I see: Problem signature:

I am using Windows 7 Professional x64. And the latest download of mozilla firefox from the home page. (As of today).

I have Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer installed, and they are both working fine.

I have no other programs/applications that are crashing.
