Firefox crashes even in safe-mode
Hello,
i have recently purchased new components for my computer. After alot of installation trouble (PSU power was too low) i got everything set-up. I have a fresh installation of Windows 7 Proffesional on my SSD. Since i bought new components for my computer i ran into alot of problems. Firefox keeps crashing when doing anything, really. I tried running it in safe mode and it works fine for like 5 minutes, but then it crashes again and keeps crashing on startup for a minute or two. I have similair problems with google chrome, but with google chrome it does not stop crashing. Here is how a crash normally begins: After a while of running normal, firefox freezes and stops responding. i try to close it with the windows dialog. Now when i try to open it again it goes into an unstable state meaning that it would either freeze again, or crash with the mozilla crashreport screen. on a rare occasion, the screen even goes black and shows a NVIDIA kernel error. I have attached a few images of errors i constantly get in the event viewer. I hope they will be of help.

I did an SFC /scannow check and the results looked fine(attached a picture with the results). It did not find any corrupted system files.
There was indeed a driver update available for my GTX 1070. Updated it manually since my NVIDIA GeForce Experience came with an error. As soon as it updated it worked fine for 5 minutes. i was relieved it was fixed unitil it crashed again.
i ran windows update aswell, it came with an .NET update. Still no luck though since it is still crashing. Turning off hardware acceleration failed to help aswell. Here are some more crash reports after applying the fixes: bp-46e7d922-018a-4598-8f9c-735812161015 bp-e92518d8-5a84-4b23-a1ca-ce2c42161015 Before applying the NVIDIA driver update: bp-542973f6-c618-4987-aa7a-214a42161015 bp-815e92c5-9279-42fd-8f45-ae9582161015

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?
Problem is still there yeah, even in safe mode. In safe mode however, it gets a little more stable. It still crashes, but not as frequent as normal.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
Still happens in the Computer Safe mode. I booted into Safe mode with networking, but it still crashed. I decided to restart to get out of Safe Mode and it came with an new error:
"The exception Breakpoint. A breakpoint has been reached. (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x70c81425. Click OK to terminated."
I've called for more help.
Let’s do a full clean re-install; Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual.
If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager,
you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux.
If you downloaded and installed the binary package
from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder
Firefox in your home directory.
Do Not remove the profiles folder.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
I followed all the steps you provided. I ran the CCleaners registry scanner, after that i ran the Firefox installer. Still no luck as it crashes the same way like previous. i did boot into safe mode but no luck either, still the same thing. bp-106ceeac-becf-4ef9-9bd4-f3a952161022 bp-fad35c6c-aec9-4794-95f2-800142161022 bp-cec8e5da-0723-4bea-8d14-a3a2b2161022 bp-0eec59c0-4cff-4247-9c63-1073d2161022
