Firefox hangs on startup, even in windows safe mode

System is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Intel Core i7-3610QM, 8 GB RAM. Firefox is the latest version (downloaded today).

I've tried reinstalling, factory settings, deleting the folders in appdata, safe mode, Windows safe mode and diagnostic upstart. It's always the same. I open firefox and it becomes unresponsive for up to five minutes, before I can use it.

In another post on the interweb, someone pointed to WhatIsHang, and while I can't make heads or tail of it, this is what I get when I check Firefox while it's hanging:


Hang report for C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Generated by using WhatIsHang on 02-03-2015 14:46:05 Web site: http://www.nirsoft.net


Remarks:

  • The program hangs in a single system call. You can look in the call stack and stack data to find out which API function cause this hang.
