Firefox crashes at every startup on windows 7 32 bit even in safe mode. I'm not able to get into firefox. Older firefox versions < 8 work fine.

System: HP EliteBook 8460p Win7 enterprise 32 bits

Thanks Knorretje. It turns out I had Passlogix V-GO.

Completely useless piece of software which I don't use, so I disabled it by following MikeBy's second reply here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/880042#answer-252425

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I also can't get into the profile manager. Got this crash ID: bp-3b4e9fd0-db29-4969-8a1a-0e9852111014

Is there some debug version I can run? I'm a developer myself, so getting some debug out is not a problem.

Btw I have tried: -reinstall -disable fingerprint driver -safe mode
