Firefox keeps crashing - I uninstalled and reinstalled and when I go to set it as my default browser it says firefox has stopped working. Also, can not install the patch. Very unhappy with this latest update!

Patch? What Patch?

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
