297255 - crash many times on start, terribly slow, hangs while browsing and downloading

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[aapt.temp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

For no reason Firefox started working much slower than just a few weeks ago,
sometimes it crashes 1-3 and more times on initial program start. Uninstalling
and reinstalling did not fix the problem.

If this cannot be explained by a bug, I would suspect Microsoft is trying to
undermine Firefox superiority to their IE by probably including some nusty code
in their windows updates - is it possible? I have no choice but to use IE as
Firefox does not work well anymore. I will try to fix it but please make sure MS
does not interfere with your product because I support Firefox all 100%, I do
not want to use IE!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Firefox icon in quick start menu
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox performed an illegal operation and will be closed, do you want to send
the report to Microsoft

Expected Results:  
Open

Windows XP Professional
