This just started happening a moment ago, but everytime I try to open firefox, this pops up:

My dad hasn't seen it before and it doesn't show up on any of our other machines. It's the Firefox license agreement, and as far as I can tell it's not be altered at all. But when tell it I agree and click OK it doesn't do anything. The dialog doesn't go away, and nothing else happens. Have there been any reports of viruses or spyware that do this? I can't figure out what to do with it, and I can't get firefox open, so I'm a bit stuck. =/

I haven't had that happen on my copy of Firefox, but mine's also a copy that's been carried from 1.5 or 1.7 and upgraded, a process I've noted makes it behave a bit differently from a new install.

Have you had Firefox on that system for a while and been using it problem free? That's the sort of thing I could imagine happening on an install where one of the install files ended up corrupted. I'm not sure what'd cause it on a live system though... Unless... Does the Moz agreement come up the first time Firefox is run? The file or registry entry that keeps track of that could have been borked; badly enough that it stalls the system when it tries to rerecord the agreement data.

I'd probably start with an uninstall/reinstall, after yanking my bookmarks and saved data, but that's just because I can't think of anything better to try.

I've had firefox on this comp since I built it and never had any problems. I've also never seen this dialog before now.

EDIT: Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox fixed it. Thanks be to avwolf for his help.
