    FireFox = Instant BSOD on 2 different Comps.


    Hi

    I have a problem. FireFox on both my laptop and my stationary comp triggers a BSOD instantly when started.
    The stationary runs W7 Ultimate RTM 64-bit and the laptop W7 Pro Retail 32-bit, both from MSDNAA.

    BSOD: BAD_POOL_HEADER

    Firefox version is 3.5.2 I think.

    Atleast on the laptop FireFox runs fine on XP.

    I have Reinstalled FireFox (not saving anything, clean version) to no avail.

    Since it's the same exact Blue screen on both machines I'm ruling out any hardware-problem.

    Yesterday everything worked flawlessly on both computers.
    6 hours ago FireFox stopped working on my laptop.
    It still worked on my stationary until 30 mins ago when I rebooted it and it started there too.

    I've searched all harddrives on the laptop with Macbytes MalwareBytes, SpyBot Search & Destroy and Avast! anti-virus with no results.

    My guess is that some update to FireFox/W7 all of a sudden made
    this happen, which only came into effect when I rebooted.

    Anyone else have this? How could I solve it?

    I've not experienced any issues with firefox myself, but I would recommend doing a search for Minefield. This is the daily build of Firefox and it's much faster on Windows 7 than Firefox 3.5 was. Nearly every plug in that I regularly use seems to work fine to.

    Might get you past this problem.

    Event viewer has no critical errors liste but 341 "Info"'s and a few Warnings that has to do with forced restart when avast! downloaded stuff.
