Firefox crashes
Firefox crashed earlier today and now I can't open it back up. Initially it looked like it wanted to open and I got the web browser screen start to open but then it never did. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but no success. The Crash ID: bp-0d70ba09-36a2-4bf1-8297-cde522141221.
Please help!
Thank you, Greg

Hi Greg,
Have you tried to create a new profile :

Do not delete any profile if you want to keep your informations.
Unfortunately I couldn't get any window to open in regards to Firefox. When I type in the destination in the dialog box it looks like something wants to open but then never does.
Might have to take it to someone to look at instead...
I ran a compatibility test and below is what I found. Hoping this helps in solving the problem.

Try to delete the safebrowsing folder.
You can find this folder in the location of the cache folder.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Not 100% sure why or what happened but just tried one more time to boot up Firefox and this time it seems to be working. Thanks everyone for your help and I will keep everything on file to trouble shoot next time if this happens again. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
Good Luck, and Happy New Year.
