= Not running the latest version of Firefox =
A number of startup crashes that happen in Firefox 3.0 no longer occur in Firefox 3.6. Please [[Upgrading to Firefox 3.6|upgrade to Firefox 3.6]] to see if that addresses your crash.
{/for}
= Determining if Firefox can load in Safe Mode =
When Firefox crashes at startup, the possible causes depend on whether Firefox is able to load in [[Safe Mode]].
[[T:safemode]]
If you get the Firefox Safe Mode dialog, proceed to next section [[#Firefox opens in Safe Mode|Firefox opens in Safe Mode]]. If you get the same crash message when you try to start in Safe Mode, follow the section on [[#Firefox does not start in Safe Mode|Firefox not starting in Safe Mode]].
= Firefox opens in Safe Mode =
If Firefox does not crash when you try to open it in Safe Mode, the most likely cause of the problem is an extension or a theme. Please see our page on [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] for help with this problem.
Some versions of the following extensions are known to cause some versions of Firefox to crash on startup:
*'''Norton IPS extension''' <!-- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535345 -->
*'''PicLens'''
<!--https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436896-->
*'''Roboform Toolbar''' (This crash has been fixed in Roboform toolbar 6.9.90 and later. In the {menu Tools} menu, click {menu Add-ons} and select {button Find Updates} to get the latest version of Roboform).
If you are unable to fix it after following the steps on that page, start Firefox in Safe Mode, by following the instructions below:
[[T:safemode]]
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, press the button {button Continue in Safe Mode}.
Once you're in Safe Mode, follow the instructions on [[Firefox Crashes#Getting the most accurate help with your Firefox crash|collecting information about your crash]] and provide that information when you [[Ask a question|get help]].
= Firefox does not start in Safe Mode =
If Firefox also crashes when you try to open it in Safe Mode, the following sections include information that can help you resolve the problem.

'''Backdoor.Ulrbot.C''' is a malicious piece of software that can infect your computer and may not be detected by your antivirus program. In addition to installing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_%28computing%29 backdoor] so that your computer is open to all sorts of dangerous manipulation, Backdoor.Ulrbot.C also crashes Firefox 3. The only fix is to manually delete the virus DLL file in Windows Safe Mode. Unfortunately this file has a randomly generated name and size so it may be hard to identify. The following steps detail how to find suspicious DLL files that may be causing this, verify them and remove them if necessary.
''These steps will only work if you get the '''''Mozilla Crash Reporter''''' dialog box and you have submitted a crash report to Mozilla.''
# Get the crash report. (See [[#Getting your crash report]] )
# Wait for the crash report to finish processing if necessary. If it's taking an unusually long amount of time, you may have typed in the wrong report ID.
# Once you have the report open, click on the '''Modules''' tab at the top of the page.
# This is a list of all the modules that are loaded with Firefox. Look for modules that have no version information (the second column is blank). If you do not see any such modules, you do not have ''Backdoor.Ulrbot.C'', please try other solutions on this page.
# If you do see modules with no version information, copy their names into a search engine such as Google. If you get no or very few results, it's likely that the module is a randomly named one and likely to be malware.
# If you have a file that fits this criteria, search your computer for the file(s) and write down its location.
# In your working web browser, go to [http://virusscan.jotti.org/] and upload the suspected file(s) at the top and click {button Scan}. While that online scanner is not perfect, it has been able to identify Backdoor.Ulrbot.C in a majority of cases. For all files that are identified as containing Backdoor.Ulrbot.C, proceed with the following steps. If none of the suspected files contain Backdoor.Ulrbot.C, you may still want to attempt the following steps in case you have a previously-unseen variant of this virus.
# Start your computer in Windows Safe Mode (not Firefox Safe Mode) by following the instructions on Microsoft website for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode Windows Vista] or [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx Windows XP].
# In safe mode, locate each of the file(s) that you identified earlier. If they were identified as containing Backdoor.Ulrbot.C, you can safely delete them. If not, rename them from {filepath xxxxx.dll} to {filepath xxxxx.dll.old} so you can rename them back if necessary.
# Restart your computer in normal mode.
# Start Firefox. If it starts, you have successfully identified and fixed the cause of the crash.
