downloaded the lastest version 8. Now home start page does NOT finish loading, just stops, refresh button isn't there, bookmark button is not there, and a box comes up asking to reload previous page. Can NOT do a search from the search box. Nothing happens, dead page. OPS is windows xp.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
