I installed the newest Java plugin today and it asked me to restart Firefox. Now it crashes as soon as I open it. It will not open in Safe Mode because it won't stay open for more than half a second. I tried re-installing it and restarting my computer and it's having the same problem. I can't open about:crashes because it won't stay open.

does it work when you uninstall all versions of java present in the windows software control panel and download & install the latest version from [java.com] again?

Make sure that you've installed the 32 bit Java version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.
