Firefox was working fine. A dialogue box appeared after an unrelated restart to say firefox was downloading updates after which I could not open firefox and got the following error: firefox.exe - Bad Image The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

Was this due to updates? Do I really need to do a clean reinstall? How do I get my bookmarks back if I do?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

User Agent
