I have Windows XP and Verizon Internet Security Suite. I've installed Firefox twice (with an uninstall in between) and it still won't load when I double-click on the icon. It runs fine on my other laptop with same OS and same anti-virus/firewall. Info on help page doesn't actually address this problem, even though the headline indicates it does.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Firefox has never actually opened. I double-click the icon and nothing happens. Check task mgr, it's not listed.

User Agent

See my update at 6:46PST - having the very same problem on a MacBook Pro. Someone named "Sherry" posted around 5:42PST w/ same problem. No techies are picking up on these posts, though. Please add a comment to mine as well to keep it at the top and see if we can get some visibility to what is obviously a bug.

Did you upload a new version/update? That is what caused my problem
