How to stop firefox from crashing every tab
So every time I open firefox, it immediately gives me the Gah your tab just crashed on the opening page and every other page I try to launch. I tried downloading an older version of firefox and got the same results. Now I'm back on the most up to date version and I can't seem to access any options or account features, ie nothing happens when I click on the bookmarks, account or menu buttons in the corner. I submitted the crash reports, but now it won't even take me to any page if I try to put a url or about:crashes in. It doesn't show the crash page either. What do I do???
Chosen solution
Turning off bitdefender solved the issue, but I'd like to find a way to not have to remove my antivirus software. I guess it's on bitdefender's end though. Thanks for the suggestions

Also, I'm curious if this might have to do with a Bitdefender update that I installed just prior to these crashes occurring.
Here are the crash report numbers:

For the IntelVPGSigning2014 issue. How do I find those files to update them?

Does Bitdefender have a way to roll back the update?
The crash reports you posted are for incidents that happened in 2018 and are currently likely of no importance since you haven't seen them anumore, so you can ignore them.
You will have to contact BitDefender support and ask how to proceed with this issue and for now either disable Bitdefender from hooking into Firefox as that is the most likely cause or uninstall BitDefender.
