Upon attempting to start firefox I am simply given a crash report stating that "Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." Nothing happens after this.

Here are the 5 most recent crash reports that I was able to get from the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reorts\ folder: bp-020633e1-d9b1-4605-b3b7-f32d92140730 bp-0d543d8f-2581-42e2-8268-115e92140730 bp-87e93677-ed24-4d87-acb8-b97522140730 bp-a5be7e3c-9e84-482b-8853-ff3b22140730 bp-4fbd497b-97fa-45d9-82dc-5dc3b2140730

Firefox is unable to run even when trying to run it in Safe Mode, it just gives me the Crash Reporter immediately after double clicking the icon or even the .exe.

Managed to get Firefox to work by uninstalling Firefox and manually deleting all files associated with it. After re-installing Firefox worked fine.
