when I update mozilla, the next time i boot up my computer I get the message dead_pool_header. the only way for me to get windows to start up again is to restart my computer in safe mode and reboot my computer to a time before I get the update.

MAL-WARE ALERT ! ! http://www.bing.com/search?q=dead_pool_header


Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
