Started this thread on PCPro, but it's just gone down  As this seems to be the natural new home... Auto updated to FF3.0.9 today (on Win XP SP3). Now starts up *really* slowly, and then crashes with the Mozilla Crash Reporter if closed down and reopened. The only way to get it to open again is to do a restart on the PC. Then it will only start once - it repeats the close, re-open attempt, crash with MCR sequence. Any ideas? TVMIA

Possibly a corrupt install? Uninstall Firefox, download and re-install?
You may want to export your bookmarks to a file, then wipe the Firefox directory in your users and settings folder too...

Thanks, guys - uninstalled and reinstalled - all OK now, and working *much* faster than it has for ages  Also can't help feeling a bit chuffed to have the first ever PC software post on x404 - sad old man that I am  Grace, peace and plenty, David.

Strangely FF won't work for me.
Not sure why.
Uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
Just crashes upon opening.
Meh, not that I really use it anyway. I use Chrome for some resource-friendly browsing, and Opera for some image/tab-intensive browsing.
