"firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close . We are sorry for
the inconvenience caused. "
As a result I cannot get into the browser. I tried to un-install and install back

Most likely a problem caused by an error in Windows sysfile, not sure though. Try installing it again in some other folder, or another version of the software.
If you haven't found the solution, take my advice, use opera browser on download.com or it's official website, you won't regret it I promise.
G'Luck!

Make sure it's fully uninstalled via Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel. Then, find your way to c:/Documents and Settings/YOURUSERNAME/Application Data/ and delete the Mozilla folder. Then, at the same hiarchical level as Application Data, find Local Settings/Application Data/ and delete Mozilla. From there you might download and install CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/download/. Once downloaded, install it, then run it. Have it check your "registry" for residue of Firefox or Mozilla.

i had the same problem a few days back, reboot(restart) your computer after uninstalling Firefox and then reinstall it. It will most probably fix the problem. If it still persists, you can get Opera, which is good(though nothin like Firefox) from http://www.opera.com/ However, always keep IE as your default browser.

Contact customer support at the foxfire website
Delete the files in C: drive for foxfore, and downloads
Do a search on your pc for foxfire and delete the files
Restall, if all else failed re- install over what you have, and update.

Sounds very strange! I've got the same set up, so that isn't the problem.
I assume you still have Explorer, and have used that to try to download firefox again?
(I know it is a pain having to allow Explorer to clutter up your disk space, but unfortunately it is still worth keeping in case of emergencies)

they're both an similar. be confident you examine the upload ons even as downloading. that is going to avert phising & hacking. that is a good purchase safer than internet explorer,plus lots pages plenty faster. that is magnificent.

I would use System Restore to restore your computer before you had the problem. Firstly I would check for spyware/anti virus on the computer however.

go to start menu then accessories and system tools then select system restore. in this wizard you set the point as and when it works in good conditions. your problem will solve.

Get Opera, it's much better.
