I've installed a fresh copy of Firefox 3.6 in a separate test- directory, and now everything works as it should in all profiles. So it actually has something to do in the Firefox install, not the profile. I uninstalled it again, renamed the original "bugged" firefox dir to something else, and installed 3.6 again in the regular C: \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ directory, copied all the files over from the old plugin directory, just to see if it's one of those plugin .dll's that was causing this. But no, it all still works.
I've kept the old 'bugged' install, just in case you want to try and find what exactly caused this after those error console logs in my previous msg.
