I updated Mozilla Firefox and it restarted itself to apply updates but it couldn't start again and crashed every time i open it. I uninstalled it, deleted all its file from various locations & tried to install again but the same problem persists again and again...

tabishali999 Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

If the problem is still there,

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

Try the 32-bit Firefox version to see if that works better.
