Firefox crashes
Since I've updated, Firefox crashes on startup. I've followed all the different scenarios like re-installing, deleting certain files etc. but still end up with Firefox crashing. It does in fact run in Safe Mode and I took that opportunity to turn off all my add-ons. Didn't help. My guess is that Firefox is allergic to something on my laptop.

Thanks, that did it. I took Freecorder out of my startup folder, reactivated my plug-ins and everything worked fine. I've had Freecorder running in my system concurrently with Firefox for years but apparently this new version has a problem. Do you know if it's going to be addressed? The problem only occurred when Firefox was updated.
Until then, I'll use Freecorder and Firefox separately.
You will have to check with Freecorder support to find out. Safe surfing.
