Updated Firefox to latest version and disabled or deleted all add-ons. Still get Crash Reporter. Firefox DOES open in Safe Mode. Ran MalwareBytes, AVG and SuperAntiSpyware. No viruses. Restored Firefox to its Default State. Checked for missing files In windows using Windows System File Checker in Command Prompt. There are none. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a Dell XPS 400. Everything else on my system works fine except for Firefox. KEEP GETTING CRASH REPORTER! Frustrated now.

I was told in a reply on my post for this matter in Mozillazine [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2685611] that the Crash Report stated that a Windows Update had caused the crash. I went to the list of all my Windows Updates and deleted all updates from the date that this occurred (3/29) and restarted and my Firefox browser works again! I could not believe it! Thank you for your kindness and assistance in this matter. Regards.

Thanks. I'll take any kind of practical help I can get at this point. I filed a crash report RIGHT BEFORE I did this so this first one is DEFINITELY ME.
