When you installed Firefox 0.9 did you uninstall 0.8 first as recommended by the
release notes?

Initially I did not uninstall Firefox 0.8, but later on after submitting the 
error report I did uninstall firefox 0.8, then uninstalled firefox 0.9, 
cleaned the registry and reinstalled firefox 0.9 and the error still occurs.
