Firefox crashes on open, even in safemode, even when trying to refresh

The only crash ID I was able to retrieve was this one:

Crash ID: bp-22a0621f-47c2-4b08-a1a7-d980d0200925

all the rest of the submissions from the 40 or so crashes did not seem to go through.

Safe mode results in a crash, an attempted refresh of the app results in a crash (same with the uninstall). Unfortunately I'm unable to proceed further to identify any other issues, so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

الحل المُختار

Do a clean reinstall of the current Firefox release and delete the Firefox program folder before installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.

If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows Registry and settings in security software.

  • do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall the current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including personal data in profiles created by other Firefox versions

Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (64-bit Firefox) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (32-bit Firefox) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • it is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling

Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you reinstall or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

If you keep having problems then you can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.


Reinstall Firefox


Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
