We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.

1. On the keyboard, press [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a Run box that contains a text field.
2. In that text field, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
3. From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
4. Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
5. Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
6. Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.

Thanks in advance!

You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

Thank you for the reply, Paul.

I can only find 2 entries assuming I followed your instructions correctly. What was on my screen did not track exactly with what you wrote. I found:

bp-1763171543 bp-1763171986

I should add that while I am functioning today on the ESR release I had to install after the disaster, it could not find all of my bookmarks or other saved items they way it automatically did when I originally installed Firefox on this new Win11 machine in July, which was impressively seamless. This event yesterday was pretty severe.
