Firefox 7 crashes (on startup) when running on Win7 as standard user.
Was running 6.02 OK on win7-32 bit (Enterprise). AutoUpgrade occurred to 7.0 The new version crashes on startup when running as a standard user on Win7. It runs OK if right-click and 'Run as Administrator' and admin credentials are supplied. Disabled all plugins and problem continues to occur.

Firefox Crashes
Check and tell if its working.
Thanks for the reply. It appears to be a bug with 7 conflicting with Oracle ESSO (Enterprise Single Sign On) - aka Passlogix V-GO aka IBM Tivoli Access manager which are all really the same underlying code.
So is Firefox working now ??
No.. can't disable the password manager for users, Still working to find a way to disable the Tivoli code injection until there is a fix for Firefox. Users who get 7.0 stop working
Here's a workaround for users using Oracle ESSO version 11.1.1.5.0 on win7. The workaround removes the startup of the v-GO helper object for mozilla. Note that this also means no SSO support for FireFox.
1st - on installation of ESSO - try turning off the Mozilla helper (custom install). A registry fix will also work (Try at your own risk and backup before editing the registry.) YMMV for this workaround and other versions/flavors of SSO/Tivoli/v-GO and Windows.
Key is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Passlogix\Extensions\AccessManager\StartupApps]
Remove the line starting "MozHOPath"
Restart v-GO SSO or reboot
