Ok I've had some issues with firefox lately. Whenever I try to load firefox I get this error:

I don't get it. I've restarted my computer several times. I've even gone so far as to bring up my task manager and I see no task's involved with firefox. I have no idea what it could be installing or doing. Any ideas on what the hell is my problem? :)

He's already tried that if you read his post.

Did you cancel any firefox installations?

Reinstalling should work though.

That also happened to me when I let it upgrade to 1.5.3 or whatever it's at now. I ended up having to uninstall it, as well as delete the folder from program files. From there, I simply downloaded the new version and reinstalled, and everything was fine, including my bookmarks and what not. I was never able to discern exactly why it happened, or why I had to delete the folder all together, and not simply reinstall, for you see, the first reinstall yeiled the same results, but not so after I deleted the folder. However, I did notice some firefox.old file, or something of the sort, was left behind in the folder, so I assume it had something to do with that. Anyways, that's your solution.

This happened on my school's computers. You just need to reinstall and that took care of the problem for us, it has something to do with the upgrade as someone already mentioned. Good luck.
