Ok, you have serious problems there because it can't find the incidents in the database...

Here is some crash info from inspector (it crashes even if inspector is disabled, so that's not the reason).

Are you sure you installed in an empty direvtory ?
Did you try a new profile ?
Do you use some kind of firewall on your system ?

that's from the wrong firefox (i.e. this is anything but fresh). please explain *exactly* how you did your install. was there something installed there before hand?

I can't be absolutely sure, but Firefox has not been installed on this computer after I reformatted and re-installed Windows. (I am sure of that.) Also I'm sure I've never created the directory manually.
I have had QTrax installed, but it's uninstalled now.

> Did you try a new profile ?
If I rename C:\Documents and Settings\Trond\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox then it crashes again, but this time without even showing the main window, and TalkBack doesn't appear (!). An empty Firefox directory is recreated. If I start Firefox then it still crashes.

If I put back the old Firefox directory it's back to the old behaviour.
Message: firefox.exe       1.8.1.13: 2008031114 caused exception C0000005 at address 6039FC51 (Base: 400000)

If I rename just C:\Documents and Settings\Trond\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zdgjmveg.default I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Firefox.exe is not running.

There's also a profile folder inside C:\Documents and Settings\Trond\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox (note the "Local Settings"). Deleting it seems to have effect on the problem, it's simply recreated.

> Do you use some kind of firewall on your system ?
No.

That's strange. I simply downloaded the file mentioned above, installed a custom install with the default options ("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 3", DOM inspection, Error reporting).
Before I had Opera 9.26, Opera 9.5 beta, Safari 3.1, Swift and IE installed, but that shouldn't matter. I think I might have had QTrax installed (it's a ripped-off version of Songbird). Also I have LastFM installed. Both of these use Gecko I think.

I tried to install it in a different directory, in that case that file doesn't even get installed. That install even runs correctly.
