Firefox crashes immediately on launch with crash reporter

Firefox Troubleshooting

Crashes at startup. Safemode not working, refresh tool didn't help. Re-install to latest, including removing the directory didn't help. Can't get the troubleshooting info because FF won't open.

hi kdressel1, thanks for providing those crash ids - unfortunately this crash may be caused by websense endpoint security software that is running on a device. websense has released an updated version (8.1.2224) which may address the issue.

in case your computer is part of a managed enterprise environment, please get in contact with your it department about this issue. more information is available in bug 1181091.

in a larger enterprise using the extended support release (esr) version of firefox, which receives security updates but feature updates only once every 10 months, might also be a better option compatibility-wise: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/
