Firefox crashes
I just installed Firefox, but the install seemed to hang. The Firefox window appeared but said "Not Responding" for 10 minutes or more. I closed that window and each time I try to start Firefox I get the "Firefox has stopped working" message. I tried doing a clean re-install, but when the install tries to open the Firefox window the same "Firefox has stopped working" message appears. I've never seen the Crash Reporter and there is no Submitted folder. (The only folder under Crash Reports is Events, and it's empty.) I'm on Windows 7.

Progress! It works in safe mode. So now what?
What Safe Mode? Firefox or the computer?
- Firefox
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
- Computer
This means one of the other programs may be the issue.
Start by disabling your protection and firewall programs.

Sorry, I should have specified, but I had followed your instruction to start the computer in safe mode with networking. HOWEVER, after I posted my previous reply to you I tried turning off Use Hardware Acceleration, and that seems to have worked. Of course it's possible with the multiple restarts, etc., that something else could have changed and it could just be a coincidence. If the problem reoccurs, I'll do more research using your guidelines above. THANK YOU for your help!
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
