Firefox crashes when loaded

This started happening after I played a game of DoD over Steam.
As soon as I load Firefox, it crashes. Happens to .8 and .9, as I tried upgrading to solve the problem. Restarts aren't helping.
The error is coming from msvcrt.dll, I guess.
I just deleted and reinstalled. Isn't making a difference.

If you have '98 or ME, this may help*.

Install the library update as per the guide, and it will either overwrite the duff file with a good one, or update it to one that works for this program
It may help with newer OSes, but the KB says it's for the oldies, (not necessarily a reliable guide, issues toend to stick around long after MS say they've died)
(*NB: 'help' in reference to the MS knowledgebase is a relative term. Usually relative to 'throwing bricks at it')

Might be an idea to run System File Checker then (sfc /scannow), if the msvcrt file's gone blobby that should unbugger it.

Alas, that works not~
Very odd(ha!), how this problem appeared out of the blue, and I didn't change any settings.
