I just recently started having crashing problems with 5.0.1 also. It loads up my homepage and when I go to any other page, it then proceeds to crash and then pops up with the crash report. I've re-installed 5.0.1 and that didn't help. I've also tried re-starting my computer multiple times, that also didn't help. Can someone, anyone please help with this problem.

Thanks anyway, maybe it will help someone.

Did you try the suggestions in the link provided in my previous post ???

Am I not clear?

-> Close Firefox (ALT + F -> Exit)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down SHIFT key while Starting Firefox

OR

As an alternative method, press Win + R key combination and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:

    firefox -safe-mode
                  OR
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode 

-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode

Firefox will now open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
