So basically, the only way I can get firefox to open is by going to safe mode, and disabling or whatever it says the add-ons. Whenever I try to get it started with the avg add-on and ad-blocker, it wont start. I've already ended the process and restarted.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Not sure, it just sort of happened when I restarted my laptop.

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
