[FireFox] ff 12 won't start

The last couple days when I click on any firefox icon, the hour glass turns on for a few seconds and then nothing. If I reboot, ff will start ok the first couple times, then back to hourglass and nothing. I've had ff 12 installed for a couple weeks.

So...is there an error log that I can find what the problem is?

Thank you for help on this!

It could be a buggy add-on or plugin.

Ensure Firefox is not running ( task manager), and try starting in Safe Mode. After that try restarting normal. This has worked for me in past.

Other method is to disable all add-ons and enable one by one to see what is causing the issue.

Thank you for your help chachazz.

Finally figured it out. FF would always load in safe mode. Tried doing each add-on at a time but couldn't figure it out.

So, it's the Bigfish games client. If it is started before ff, then ff won't start. I don't have the toolbar in ff but I do in ie. It didn't do this with ff 3.x, just with ff 12. So there it is.

sigh.
