333358 - Must reinstall everytime I boot up

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Don Singleton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I am running 1.5.0.1 under Win XP. I find that everytime I boot up after a complete shutdown, and most of the time after a shutdown/restart, that when I start Firefox I get a message that it wont start, and it wants to send a report to Microsoft (not to you, to Microsoft).

I can reinstall it, and run it from the install, and it works perfectly, and I can even start new copies.

But if I shut them down and then try to start a copy, it will fail.

My machine is Dual Core. Is it possible that might be a factor?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Shutdown
2.Reboot
3.Start Firefox

I appreciate the link to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up describing Firefox Hanging, but that is not what I am experiencing. 

It does not hang, it immediately crashes and brings up a screen to send a report to Microsoft.

And if there were a problem in the History file with a long URL, why can I reinstall it and run it from the install, and it works fine (all of my bookmarks and history are still there, even >6 days), but if I do a complete shutdown, and then start up, it will fail regardless of whether I click the icon on my desktop, or the icon in my Quick Start tray

Also have  a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29 it is likely there is something in your profile that is causing this.
