Firebug won't start up

I've got FF3.5.4 and Firebug 1.4.3. The bug shows on the bottom bar,
and firebug is listed with an arrow under tools, but no submenu shows
up and nothing happens when I click on the bug.

I just installed a new Panda internet security system yesterday, so
maybe it is blocking it, but why? Everything else is working. I just
went through a major virus/trojan horse episode yesterday - 38 were
found. So in the process of cleaning that up, lot's of things were
removed, and things in the registry were deleted, in case that could
have any effect.

Thanks and I hope this was the right place to post this. I really need
Firebug back for the work that I do.

Unfortunately that didn't help. When I started with the new profile
(blank I assume - no bookmarks),
and reinstalled Firebug, even the bug on the lower bar didn't show.
And the one in the tools menu
has an arrow but no sub-options show when I hover.

I sent a message to my new security system on Friday. I will check
back with them tomorrow. Unless
you have any other ideas, or anything I can check to see what could be
blocking it.

I wanted to report back that I discovered that when booting off an
alternative backup bootable disk, that I can bring firebug up. It's
the same installation, but running off a different disk. So I'm going
to the "Program Files/thunderbird . . ." folder on what is now my D:
disk. As such, the problem must be in some corrupted aspect of that
other disk which went through some bad infections last week. So it
isn't a problem with the installation, the code, or with the security
software, which is running on both systems. Thanks for your help in
this problem.
