I have at least some computer knowledge but not enough to understand the link on the crash report that says what this report means. Is there a cliff notes version of why my firefox keeps crashing. I have link to the page so I am not sure what info is needed to help me. I can give screenshots or link info. I'm not sure if it's safe to post everything on report or what is necessary.

I went into troubleshoot mode and it just brought me to a page. I refreshed Firefox and cleared cache. Not sure what else or what I am supposed to do in here.

The crash appears to be related to Nvidia software. Visit about:third-party in the address bar and try blocking nvwgf2umx.dll then restart the browser.

Try updating your graphics drivers from the Nvidia site.
