Upgraded to FF 8.0 Now, I can't even get FF to start. It crashes at startup, even when holding the SHIFT key down.

This has happened to me on 2 different computers - both Windows XP, SP3, with all updates applied.

actually, I found the answer on another question. I needed to upgrade Roboform to 7.6.2. Once I did that, FF starts and runs perfectly.
