That is an Expression issue, in general Firefox works fine with Vista.

That may have a wide range of causes. Perhaps a corrupt install or download,
or an issue with the security software. Check firewall and app monitoring
settings, also see if you can dig up some information in the Event Viewer
(Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools).

Have you tried the simple expediant of uninstalling Firefox, rebooting, &
reinstalling, from firefox site?
- your settings remain -

Did you remove the profile also? That isn't uninstalled when you remove
the program and will be picked up by the new install.

Hi,

I'm using Vista Ultimate, and Firefox 2.0.0.11. They work great.
The only reason I have for running Firefox is to access an old DSL box,
which doesn't like IE.
I'd suggest a complete removal, restart, re-download, and re-install of
Firefox.
I have to say Vista has been good to me. Only one program driver not
available, and the scanner company seems to be dragging its feet on it.

But did you remove the profile like I asked previously? If you don't,
it is useless to uninstall and reinstall the program, as the problematic
profile will continue to be used.
