Can you try starting Firefox in safe mode, running for a bit, then follow your STR (starting Firefox in safe mode again)

I had to shut down for a Windows update yesterday and afterwards Firefox fired right up as if there had never been a problem. I had waited to say anything because I'm aware of Windows's transitory aberrations, and of course immediately I do, it goes away. When I got your email I shut it down again, and again it started up normally. Of course there's the remote possibility that the Windows update fixed something. Sorry for troubling you.
