I just updated to the recent version of Firefox 8.0, but it will not open. I have Windows 7. I've uninstalled it numerous times and rebooted just as many times, but to no avail.

Is it just firefox 8.0 you were having trouble with? Are you having trouble with other version?

I guess I haven't tried reverting to a previous version of FF and opening that. Would it be a clear-cut and simple operation to find the previous version and do that?

Try reverting back to an older version, worked for me.

Would you recommend trying for FF 7 (since both 8 and 9 failed to work for me)?
How do you get an older version of FF?
thanks!

Thank you for the filehippo link. I used it to download 7.0 and 9.0.1; unfortunately none of the versions of FF I download ever gets past the "Checking for Add-ons" portion of installation (just as FF is being launched). It "checks for add-ons" for hours and hours, until you shut down the computer, and then the .exe process seems to terminate and just be dormant. How can I get around this "checking for add-ons" checkpoint so I can finally successfully launch an FF version?

it sounds more like you have a virus /trojan on your computer, that maybe causing you troubles

Would this trojan or virus be capable of entering my computer even if my Norton 360 Security says the computer is protected and fulled scanned?
