Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder before reinstalling?

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop. Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling. ..... See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

Tried all that, also did system restore, no joy.

Same here. Problem occurred immediately after an auto update. Tried a clean install still get error. Firefox will not open.

Same here. I reinstalled windows XP then installed firefox 3.6.8 all ok then installed adobe flash player plugin ... then I get the program must terminate error "cant read memory" error and fire will not start again!!!

I do have the same problem .. i just reinstall Windows XP and tried to install Adobe flash player add-in .. the same error !

The solution is easy. Install "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" free edition and use it. This program found malware in your pc. After that clean this malware. Finally instal Firefox again and enyoy it because this installation is correct and clean. Regards.
