First I though it was the Norton §$%&/() product.... but then I played around with
firefox.exe -safe-mode
and voila it worked again.
Disabling extension by extension revealed that Speed Dial 0.7.0.8 was the culprit.So it had to let it go.

Speed Dial killed my Firefox
Strange... I have been using the Speed Dial extension for Firefox for quite some while now, and a couple of days it started to kill my Firefox after startup...
First I though it was the Norton §$%&/() product.... but then I played around with
firefox.exe -safe-mode
and voila it worked again.

ReplyDeleteso does that -safe-mode truly help me find the misbehaving piece?
-safe-mode allows you to run an instance of FF w/o any add-on... for this one time... it does not remove them... so you can get it up and running and then from there disable and re-enable extensions.
