Mozilla Firefox 9 Error

[firefox]

When I open my Firefox 9 version it tells me that firefox.exe has encounterd a problem and needs to close.

AppName: Firefox.exe AppVer: 0.9.0.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.1106 Offset: 0003381c

and then if I want to send a report to M$

If I tell the program to run in windows 98 compatibility mode it works OK.

How can i fix this.

*shrug*

just run the program in win98 compatibility mode.

if thats a hassle try re-downloading and re-installing the software package.

I went over Moz forums. Nobody will give ya f*ckall idea how to properly go from 0.8 to 0.9. Some poor ass support. :angry:

Too bad I'd already done the New Profile trick and have Firefox already working :(

Read the release/install notes.

It says uninstall 0.8 FIRST, otherwise you WILL have problems.

The profile info is held in a separate area so it isn&#39;t affected, and it is automatically imported into the new version.

Likewise installing Thunderbird 0.7, it must not be installed into the same folder as 0.6 (or earlier).

I did exactly what it said for both apps, and have had no probs whatsoever.

I guess I will run it in compatibility mode, this was the first time I installed Firefox, I figured I give it a try since they named a browser after a nickname I have been using for 20+ years.

Go to your profile directory. Under Windows, this will be C:&#092;Documents and Settings&#092;UserName&#092;Application Data&#092;Mozilla&#092;Firefox. Under Macintosh OS X, this will be ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox. Under Linux, this will be ~/.mozilla/firefox/.

Open prefs.js with a text editor, and remove the line containing "update.lastUpdateDate" if it exists. Then start Firefox and turn off all software and extension update preferences (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Software Update) - but leave "Allow web sites to install software" alone.

Thanks to Hendikins for this. :)

Hopefully that should work. If it doesn&#39;t, feel free to post your problem in a seperate thread. Thank you&#33;
