Right now I am asking this question from Internet Explorer because Firefox wont start or open. No matter what I do it wont do anything. I tried double clicking the icon-NOTHING. I tried right-clicking the icon-NOTHING. I tried different links-NOTHING. I tried going into the start button and clicking internet from there-NOTHING. It isnt my computer because I was able to open other applications and internet explorer. Every time this has happened I have to uninstall firefox then re-install it. It will work fine for awhile. Then it happens again.

I have a similar problem but I can use <cntrl alt del> to clear Firefox from the Processes tab. Then it starts up again. Any fixes for this?
