Please where can I get a copy of 2.0.0.11 I had no problems with it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Try launching Firefox in safe mode either via the shortcut in the start menu or via the command line to see if it still occurs. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Just loaded in safe mode tried it 2 ways just safe mode and everything disabled and it still does the same thing.
After launching are you able to use Firefox? If so try launching Firefox with an url by exiting Firefox, typing http://www.mozilla.com into Start -> Run, and pressing ok.
every page I try to visit does the same thing when I type it in and click green arrow it just tries to load my windows media player with every page I even tried to click external link like in an e-mail still does the same thing
Firefox doesn't query the OS for http handlers so this can't be an installer problem. Since it is launching a helper app over to File Handling.
