Why do I get this error message every time i opened up Firefox saying: jqsnotify.exe-Application Error and then at the bottom line it says: The instruction at "0x5ff3d322"referenced meory at " 0xe41203c3". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I recently renewed and installed the CA Security Suite and un-installed Firefox and re-installed it again.

I am unable to disable JQS, as firefox will not load and will only give the memory error when I uninstall and reinstall the sw.

You do not need to start Firefox to disable the Java Quick Starter, you can do that via the Java Control Panel (Control Panel > Java > Advanced)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
