Firefox has never given me a problem until recently. It all of a sudden will not open. It opens in the background (when I check under task manager it has opened as a process) but the firefox window never loads. I have tried every fix that I have read. I have closed it out of the task manager and tried to open it again. I have tried to run ff safe mode and the same thing happened. I have tried to install an update or reinstall(w/o uninstalling first) and the process completes but when I go to open ff it still doesnt open. Finally I tried to uninstall it and nothing happens, the add/remove program window freezes, and sometimes a rundll32 error message pops up that it has stopped responding. I am addicted to ff and I need help

DO NOT post your hijackthis log here.

This is a known problem for firefox because it's not loaded in your ram such as IE, it takes longer to open up.

Try opening up firefox in safe mode and see if that works or not. It may be an issue with an extension or theme.
