i was using firefox 35.0.1 and just applied the 36.0 update few hours ago. after that, i was unable to run firefox. when i double clicks on the firefox icon, it bumps out 2 error message. 1 of them is "GetLogicalProcessorInformation ... kernel32.dll" and the other is "unknown exceptional error (0xc06d007e) at 0x7c812a5b"

those are keywords from the message since i am using traditional ver. firefox, not sure if i translate correctly. wonder if i can just return to 35.0.1 and wait until another update fix this problem

Hi tenfive,

It sounds like something must have gone wrong during the update.

Could you please try downloading the latest Firefox installer from this page, and use it to reinstall Firefox? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Let us know if this solves the issue! If not, It is possible to download and install Firefox 35 - but there were some security issues fixed in Firefox 36, so it's always better to use the latest version.

hi, this appears to be a bug that affects a small subset of xp users when there is a corruption/mixup of some system libraries. this is investigated by mozilla at the moment. just out of interest - which service pack are you on?
