drwtsn32.exe will be the MS crash utility DrWatson

Try reading firefox crashes and see if using firefox in safe mode helps

• use the default themes
• do not make changes in the options window, just click on continue

I personally am not likely to benefit from seeing your error logs, but I will try 3.6.25 later on windows xp and post back as to whether or not it works, my expectation is that it will run without incident.

oh i know what dr watson is... im simply letting you guys know that there is no activity on the computer... loads a bunch of processes from firefox.exe, and from drwtsn but before it fully loads it runs a termination protocol on both processes... and dr watson has no error report... so whatever the issue with the source, there is your stack report... procmon is what i was using to determine what was running and being executed with firefox... and that is firefox.exe and drwtsn32.exe.... but then no dice, not a msg or anything

I have now checked and find Firefox 3.6.25 works for me on Windows XP SP3 32bit.

• did you read firefox crashes
• do you see any crash IDs when you go to about:crashes
  ( by typing it into the location bar)
• have you turned on notification of crash reporting
  Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> |General| sytem defaults [] submit crash reports
  • see options window - advanced panel

If you have no good reason for staying with the old Firefox 3.6 have you considered downloading and installing the current Firefox 9

yah, pretty good reason to stay with 3.6.... 9 doesn't load... hence the post O.o... no but seriously... no error reporting as i cant get 9 to even load in the first place?
