I am unable to open my firefox ... not even in safemode. When I click on Firefox I get a crash report screen ... I then hit submit report and another crash report screen pops up. I was forced to use internet explorer to troubleshoot.

Chosen solution

The crash is/was a number 3 top crasher in Firefox 9, but hardly any crashes with that signature seem to appear in Firefox 10.0.2

I suggest you upgrade to the latest Release which currently is Firefox 10.0.2 and may be downloaded from
