Firefox crashes non-stop

I don't know what to do. Firefox 14.0.1 crashes repeatedly (no Crash Reporter appears - and I do not have any extensions installed):

I've tried Safe Mode, making new profiles, as well as setting my homepage to about:blank.

I also tried Firefox 15.0b4 - but it only ran the first time. After that it wouldn't start. I mean, firefox.exe would start, but no browser would show up.

I'm using Windows 7.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

Turned out to be Win32/Alureon (undetected by Malwarebytes):

I'm reinstalling Windows ASAP.

Thanks everyone!
