This is getting old fast. Now I can't get even get through to you guys. Let's try this again: I was doing some internet reading when my Firefox Browser (version 23.0.1.4974) crashed abruptly. After the Mozilla Crash Reporter came up, I hit the "Restart Firefox" button, but it just crashed again without ever starting up. Double-clicking on the Firefox shortcut on my desktop produced the same result: crash!

This happened several days ago. At that time, after doing some research at Firefox, I Reset Firefox (losing my Links toolbar and all my personlizations): that didn't work. Then I reloaded Firefox, updating to the version mentioned above. After getting out of my desktop and restarting the computer, just for good measure, Firefox seemed to be working fine.

Now, today, it's crapping out (crashing) again. What the heck is going on? Oh, and: I have a sense that all this crashing didn't start happening until a recent "Windows Update" download. I hope somebody knows what's going on, here: I'm at wits end!!

Thanks, in advance, for any help anybody can provide.
