FF v 3.6.3 for windows vista will not open and run in normal or safe mode, FF will not uninstall from folder or add/remove programs, tried to reinstall from Mozilla site did not work. Internet Explorer also will not run and crashes. I am using Safari it runs fine no problems.

From the Crash ID information, it seems this is related to the AVG antivirus, version 8.5. If possible, please try updating you AVG installation (the program) to latest version; according to Bug 547210 AVG has released an update May 17. to AVG version 9 that should fix this problem.

Please let us know if this fixes the problem with Firefox crashing.

Thank you, I assumed it was avg because of the signature I just didn't know why it was causing it to crash. I updated it but when I updated I'm now using AVG v 8.5.437 didn't go to version 9 so I'm downloading it from cnet.com, but everything is working fine =}.

Thank you again!
