what is blocking Firefox ESR from launching on XP?
For the last few weeks, something is preventing Firefox ESR from launching on a Windows XP laptop (it still works on an XP PC). I am running Malwarebytes Antimalware FREE and AVG Internet Security, among other programs (paid-for Malwarebytes - but currently no AVG - on the PC which works). I can see that there are sessions running in Task Manager, but no windows open.
I *occasionally* have a message on shutdown saying something like "nsappshell event window" - not sure whether that's related, although I gather it's Firefox-related. I've also tried installing PortableApps' Firefox ESR app on the laptop in the hope that I might be able to launch that instead, but that doesn't work either.
Any suggestions appreciated (and yes, I *am* trying to get a more up-to-date computer!)

(NB: there are known conflicts between AVG and Malwarebytes Premium (paid), at least on XP, blocking various applications from launching, including Office programs, Adobe Reader, and browsers, but these aren't supposed to apply to Malwarebytes Free)
