Have been using ver.3.6 for months and have not had any problems, tried to update to 4.01 and it would not "start", even after re-starting the pc. Removed and reloaded ver.3.6 and no further problems. System is a XP SP2  ??? Are there any issues with ver 4.01 on XP

No, there are no issues running FF4x on Windows XP. I have that OS installed myself.

You appear to have McAfee Site Advisor installed. Versions prior to 3.3.1 are incompatible with Firefox. See https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/

Disable McAfee Site Advisor in Tools | Add-ons | Extensions and then update Firefox again via Help | Check For Updates.
