This is happening because you have an incompatible extension installed from a previous version of Firefox, Firebird or Phoenix - such as Tabbrowser Extensions.


How to Fix (On Windows):

1. Open My Computer.
2. Open Local Disk (C) (or wherever your profile data is stored). (Show Me)
3. Open Documents and Settings. (Show Me)
4. Open the folder whose name is your Windows user name. (Show Me)
5. Open the Tools menu and click Options... (Show Me)
6. Click the View tab and ensure Show hidden files and folders is selected in the Advanced settings: section. Click OK to close the panel. (Show Me)
7. A folder called Application Data should be visible. Open it. (Show Me)
8. Open the Phoenix folder (Show Me)
9. Open the Profiles folder (Show Me)
10. Open the folder called default. (If you are using another Firefox profile, open the folder matching the name of the Firefox profile you are using.) (Show Me)
11. Open the folder whose name contains a strange sequence of characters and a .slt extension. (Show Me)
12. Find the chrome folder (Show Me)
13. Rename the chrome folder to something else, like chrome-backup. (Show Me)
14. Close the Explorer window and try and launch Firefox again.

If after this you get the same error, uninstall Firefox completely, and remove the folder you installed it into (e.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) completely, then reinstall Firefox.
