Ok, I can't seem to open FireFox even when I reinstalled it 3 times... It must have something to do with a conflict in one program... FireFox might be conflicting with:

1. Window Washer

or

2. McAfee VirusScan

I want to remove them, but there is this guy who keeps saying that there is something missing in Avast!, Kaspersky... I think it was the antispyware. I could just compensate with Spybot, Avast! and COMODO Firewall Pro. Those are my settings in my home PC and FF has not conflicted (heck, I already have addons)

Can someone help me on conflicting problems?

What you could do is try running FF in safe mode. You tried that?

firefox.exe -safe-mode

And if safe mode works, then it is something in FF which is different from the 'factory deafult' that is (one of) the reason for the unstartability.

Try to disabe all extensions in SafeM and then start it in normal mode, and then (if it starts then) activate them one by one to see which one is the bugger.
