Firefox is down for me, I updated Ad Block and now it refuses to even open (Windows just says it has generated errors and closes it) I've rebooted the computer twice, but it still doesn't work.

Try opening Firefox in safe mode. (Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Firefox (Safe Mode)

Doesn't work either.

Have you tried reinstalling it ?

You can always try deleteing C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox. Note that this will turn your firefox into a new install. Everything will be gone, bookmarks, settings, cookies, extensions, so if you want to preserve some of that (bookmarks especialy) you need to copy them out of there before deleting.

DON'T do whats posted above. Just delete the adblock extention!

They are located in two places, depending on where you installed them. If you installed them to your profile then they're in:

X:\Documents and Settings\yourprofilename\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxxxxx.Default User\extensions

Where X is the drive windows is installed on (usually C) and xxxxxxxxxxxx is the profile name in alphanumeric characters.

or

X:\Program Files\Mozilla FireFox\extensions

Where, X is the location of the drive you have Firefox installed to, usually your C drive.

You can find it by sorting by date and time. The offending extention is located in its own folder. I've seen this happen several times with corrupted extentions.

Sometimes deleting just the extension leaves some bad sideffects, however, yes, it should be attempted before wiping the entire profile. Sorry for the overly extreme solution in my previous post, I wasn't paying much attention, and was more replying to the "you can always reinstall it" post rather then the OP.
