After installing KB4025342 (2017-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems), Firefox will not start in regular or safe modes. It crashes immediately. I uninstalled this KB and Firefox now works fine. Crash reports were submitted via the app, but let me know if I should attach anything here. Thank you.

Chosen solution

When I uninstalled the update, Firefox worked fine. Also, Comodo just released an update and I then re-applied the Windows patch and now everything is working in harmony.

Thanks again!

Not sure. I installed fine and Firefox works fine. It maybe that you have too many Extensions installed. I would try and disable some of them if get Firefox running........

I will say that your Video Card drivers are very old ... Please update them here : https://support.amd.com/en-us/download for your AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series Old drivers can cause issues.

Try downloading your Windows 10 Update (KB4025342) from here https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4025342 May have gotten corrupted when downloading/installing by updates and decided it did not want to play nice.

Give the above a try and try Firefox again

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks for the quick replies! The AMD video drivers were actually slightly older than the one Windows installed automatically, but I did try them regardless, to no avail. This is a dev machine I built almost 6 years ago, but it still runs great.

All crashes have a "bp-". Here is the list. Thanks in advance.

This is an incompatibility issue between Comodo and Windows update KB4022716. The current advice is to uninstall Windows update KB4022716.

New crashes have been reported after installing Windows update KB4025342, so you may have to remove this update as well.
