Thank you for your response.

As I've mentioned in my issue - I cannot get fire fox running in any situation on my machine.

And I've also copied the latest 5 crash report IDs. Not sure why don't you see them in my original issue.

Did you try to disable Digital Guardian (Verdasys)?

more options

Don't have access to it.

Other people in the organisation are using the same operating system as me (Common Operating Environment) without any issues to FF.

So, Digital Guardian is very less likely the cause for this issue.

more options

The crashes are caused by the dgapi.dll file as you can see by the signature of the crash reports

  • Firefox 30.0 Crash Report [@ dgapi.dll@0x92d5d ]

The conflict between Verdasys Digital Guardian and Firefox is due to Digital Guardian only supporting ESR versions of Firefox. If you run into a problem with Firefox and Verdasys Digital Guardian please have your organizations Digital Guardian Support contact open a support incident with Verdasys Support for more information on suggested work arounds.

Thank you,

Firefox 24.6.0 ESR:

I've already seen this. But no luck so far!

Are you able to install the Firefox 24 ESR version?

You can also try the portable (ESR) Firefox version as a test. The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.

Yes I tried installing FF 24 ESR version.

Same issue.
