Everytime I try and open a firefox page, A notice comes of a crash report comes up. I have tried starting in safe mode, but It still doesn't work. And I'm not sure what else to do to fix this problem now

Firefox 8.0.1 Crash Report [@ JSObject::getGlobal() ]

Try downloading and installing the latest version of Firefox (Firefox 10) from www.mozilla.org/firefox

I've seen crashes with that crash signature ([@ JSObject::getGlobal() ]) quite a few times and it takes ages to load such a report because of all the comments attached to it (there should be a way to prevent those from downloading).

The linked bug report isn't helpful as well as it seems to assume a problem with Firebug.
