Hello,

I'm having a problem with Firefox: it crashes all the time. Here's the two last crash reports:

bp-172c899f-5e3f-49bd-a2c1-3058b2150411 11/04/2015 11:24 bp-9d6582d8-3214-4855-8800-6e9372150411 11/04/2015 10:59

I really like firefox and I hope I won't have to move to another browser.

Thank you in advance.

The crash report shows;

Signature msvcr120.dll


What were you doing at the time?

Please post the crash reports for the last 5 days.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I was watching videos on youtube, downloading custom content for the Sims... and that's pretty much it.

My laptop is pretty new (less than 1 month) and this problem appeared right away after installing Firefox for the 1st time. I don't have toolbars. About the antivirus add-on I have Avira Browser Safety. Should I remove it?

Here are the crash reports:

I'll try using Firefox in SafeMode to see if the problem persists.

Thank you in advance for your help.

@FredMcD

That link to perform a System Check is for W7. Will it work with W8?

I checked the updates, everything is up to date.
