Firefox crashes
Been using Firefox for years, today it refuses to open and just keeps giving a crash report everytime I try. Did try a fresh install today but still get the crash screen?
Have attached what I believe to be the crash report.

I have managed to solve this problem, it appears that when I ran Malwarebytes free scan this morning, it updated and installed a free 14 day trial of the FULL program. After removing Malwarebytes the problem was solved and I was back to being able to run Firefox again, so looks like there is a conflict somewhere.
UPDATE: I should just mention that it was the "14 day free trial" of the extra features that was causing my problem, I reinstalled Malwarebytes but deselected the free trial in my settings and it's fine again. I like to use Malwarebytes for the odd scan as it does seem to find bugs that other scans miss so pleased that I can still use it alongside Firefox.
