Firefox won't start at all. It is giving me a crash report but does not specify what the problem is. I have gone through the troubleshooting list and am trying to create a new profile. I get the box that pops-up listing the profiles with the options to "create profile", "rename profile, "delete profile". When I create on "Create Profile", nothing happens. I see a box in the background flash up for a second but disappears. I tried to rename the profile and delete it....the same thing happens.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled which did not help. So I do think that data is corrupt in my profile.

HELP!!! I hate IE...lol.

I'd love to provide you with that info, but I cannot get to the address bar in FireFox as it won't *open*.

This is the crash report that I receive. When I hit "restart", I get the same message.
