Immediate error message from Windows - "firefox.exe has encountered a problem 
and needs to close..." etc.  Firefox does not open.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have opened as normal.

Please run the firefox safemode (using the Firefox safemode link in the windows
startmenu) and if that works deinstall your extensions. FF safemode is just FF
without extensions/Themes.

-> invalid (wfm and bugzilla is not for support questions. Please use the
mozillazine.org Forums for that)
