RE: Firefox stopped working
if you have vista try booting from the disk and do a system restore from there.

RE: Firefox stopped working
as discussed via WLM, nothing about the firefox process is out of the ordinary, but the process list is showing a lot of command prompt sessions started by csrcs.exe
A bit of searching suggests that this is a virus called W32/Spybot-EI

RE: Firefox stopped working
STUPID SEMI FIX
rename the .exe to firefox1.exe or something and it works...

they ANNOYING THING IS, when mine opened it came up with the page "firefox updated"

WHAT A JOKE!

now how can i find out what's making it do this :(

i hope its not a virus now!! ¬_¬

EDIT:

okay its the firewall.....

the STUPID thing is, my firewall is set to allow firefox.exe etc. and firefox1.exe has the same permissions.

1.exe works and normal doesnt!

as soon as i disable the firewall it works!

STRANGE!

This worked for me:

open your firewall settings / rules

delete the rule for firefox

open firefox that always crashes so your firewall asks you to allow or block it.

then it worked for me!
