Firefox crashes after starting.
I am using WIndows XP Professional with SP3. Whenever I try starting Firefox, it crashes and shows the following error:
Even uninstalling and reinstalling it hasn't helped. What could be wrong and more importantly how to fix this?

Re: Firefox crashes after starting.
Try starting FF in safe mode or try creating a new user profile.

Re: Firefox crashes after starting.
Well, tell us what you did that may have caused this, I mean surely FF3 was working b'fore this crash. What changes or something else did you do in the past week?

Re: Firefox crashes after starting.
Best part of linux- FF doesn't crash.
Probably a reinstall would be a good idea.

Re: Firefox crashes after starting.
I am running the latest version of Firefox, v3.0.6. And I already mentioned in my first port that I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. Even staring it in Safe mode does not help.
As for the changes I made to the system, well I recently formatted one of my partitions and also removed some fonts that I don't use. But the partition that I formatted was not the one on which I had installed Firefox on and I don't see how removing fonts could be a problem, as Opera seems to be working fine as with every other application.

Re: Firefox crashes after starting.
this happened to me as well when I was running FF3 on XP..
FF3 ran real good and all of a sudden, a few times it crashed for nothing ...i didn't do much after the crash.. just hit "restart firefox" and things got back to normal again...
why this happened ? I have no clue !!
<but this hasn't been happening ever since I switched over to VISTA...again dont know why !!>

This is not a problem on my XP SP3.
SP3 has nothing to do with FF hanging.
