Firefox crashes
Firefox will not open. I have uninstalled, deleted original Firefox folder from my programs and tried to choose both starting Firefox options and starting in safe mode. Below is the last error report that I have from 12/22/14 - however, when the it crashes it says: Details: the program has not identified itself.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
