Does this also happen when you start Firefox in the safe mode or with a new profile?

It happens in normal and safe mode. Funnily this morning it worked OK but is 
now doing the same thing again. It opens, shows it is waiting for home page to 
load and as this happens it shuts down again

Reporter, are you still seeing this problem with the latest release of Firefox when using a clean profile?
