i get notifcation about the update i do the update it finishes and then firefox doesnt start i check my running process no firefox in sight..i restart my pc and the same problem..then i download the stand alone installer and install again same problem also did a clean install removing previous version all traces of it did nothing,doesnt work in firefox safe mode ive made exceptions in nod32 ive even tried it with no firewall or antivirus running still doesnt work so i go back to previous version everything works fine..i use ad block plus no script and leechblock and my theme is past modern

i had a similar problem when i wanted to try google chrome awhile back it would install but never came up..dont know if something is causing an issue for both but i really need to and want to update my firefox but cant someone please help..by the way im running windows xp

Change to the default theme and try again...more often than not when you have a 'no start' problem after an update the theme is the source.

Also, you may want to disable leechblock...I know NoScript and Adblock Plus are both 3.5.2 'ready'.

yea but if i did a clean install wouldnt that solve that problem without me manually doing that i uninstalled 3.5.1 that had all that stuff got rid of all folders and traces of it then installed 3.5.2 and same problem
