    Firefox wont start

    When I clicked on a link from my email box,firefox wont start.
    Tried clicking on the firefox on the desktop,still nothing.
    When I right click firefox-open--a small box appears telling me that firefox is having problems..
    There is a section that you can type in your problem and when you click either "close this box" or "retry", it sends it to mozilla for their tech guys to work on(I presume it does).

    Can anyone help me get my firefox back....

    TIA

    I think they stuffed up the latest upgrade.
    After about a week I now have my formatting back on posts on this forum.
    I think/hope.

    Try restarting your computer. If that does not work then it could be caused by a Firefox plugin (flash, silverlight, etc).

    If you are still stuck, try to uninstall, download the latest version and install that.

    Are you running this on Windows or Mac? If windows, is firefox listed in the process list after you click on it? (right click on the task bar at the bottom of the screen and select 'task manager'.. If there are many then click on the name of one of the processes and type 'f')

    I really dont want to delete then reinstall,but that will be the last resort..

    Me thinks it might be caused by a Mricrosoft update(add-on for firefox) that I usually just let happen.

    Thks guys
