Please read Basic Troubleshooting (you can ignore steps 1-3 right now). Let me know if any of those steps help you out.

Alright, well let's try this then.

Restart your computer. After you restart your PC, let's try starting Firefox up in Safe Mode. Read this article to see how to start in Safe Mode. If Firefox starts up normally, then this is likely a problem with your extensions, so we will need to disable them one by one (or disable them all and re-enable them one by one) to figure out the offender.

Another thing is please update to Firefox 11 (go to www.getfirefox.com to download it since you can't get Firefox open to update). It does have some bug fixes that might help your problem.
