I keep getting a launch error when I try to open Firefox
can anyone help?

I'm now reduced to using Windows *bleh*

Think I should uninstall it, then reinstall Firefox?

2. It says
"Firefox has caused an error in FIREFOX.EXE.
Firefox will now close.

If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer.

I've restarted it twice, and keep getting thsis error.

3. Hmm. That doesn't help us much.
Can you launch it from a command prompt?

(Go to start->run command, enter "cmd.exe" and then type "firefox" at the MS-DOS prompt. Hopefully it might give us some more information to stdout).

5. I think reinstalling Firefox might be the only solution for CatWoman too.

7. Did you just get the update to Firefox? I think people have been
having problems with it. Anyways, just uninstall it, reboot, and reinstall it.
