That's ... weird

All of a sudden, Firefox will not start on my work computer. Well, that's not entirely true - it starts and then immediately crashes (complete with the Mozilla Crash Reporter popping up).

I've installed no new hardware or software, although some of my Firefox add-ons did update yesterday.

So today, I'm using Google Chrome. *g* It seems to work pretty well, although I miss my FoxyTunes control and my Flashblock (and my RSS reader)

Hopefully a reboot tonight will solve the problem; otherwise, I've no idea how to fix it other than a complete new install.

Are you loading multiple tags when you open firefox? If so, something in one of those tabs may be causing it to crash. I've had that problem before. Otherwise, I've got nothing.

Nope, I shut it down cleanly last night, so it should only be opening with the single homepage tab on it. And my homepage points to my placeholder page on sympatico, and that hasn't changed in approximately... 8 years? (no CSS, no scripts, just basic html - not even so much as a table.)

'twas a good idea, though - thanks! *g*
