Everytime I've tried to start FF in the last year or so, I get an insta-crash. The only window that pops up is the crash/submit report windows. The same happens when I attempt to run FF in safe mode.

-> Do a MALWARE check with these Malware Scanning programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you UPDATE each program to get the latest version of their Databases before doing a Scan. Also, Close All other Applications (softwares) before Starting to Run Scans.

Check and tell if its working.

Doing all the various spyware scans seems to have solved the problem. I also added in a complete uninstall/reinstall for good measure.

All the various scans took more than a day, but it's been worth it.

Thanks!
