Hi, Firefox is my favorite browser that I've been using for years and all of a sudden it won't start. I've already tried the following and it will not open at all, ever.

I'm on windows 7 and have never had a problem before.

1. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper. 2. Tried Safe mode. 3. I uninstalled, deleted the program files, restarted computer, reinstalled. 4. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper again and tried with fresh install. 5. I tried the Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe (Profile manager window didn't open, nothing happens) I also tried "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" AND "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and nothing happened.

In between each try, I END PROCESS in my task manager. Even though a window never actually opens for any of these steps.

I'm at a loss and really need and would appreciate any help.

Thank you, Jon

Could you try starting up in Firefox's Safe Mode?

Hold down the Shift key when double-clicking the Firefox shortcut.

A small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Any luck?

That didn't work either, but after everything, it turned out to be a recent adoble flash update. I uninstalled flash and now it works. I do need flash player though, so hopefully it works next time I reinstall... I will probably try it over the weekend and let you know. Thanks for the help!
