Firefox crashes
Can't start firefox. It keeps crashing. I am using windows 8.1 64x.
I can't enter in safe mode.
I have uninstalled and installed many times and nothing worked.

thanks, it looks like these crashes are caused by an external library named brykmspkcs11.dll hooking into the firefox process. do you use any particular external software/hardware like a smart-card reader that this might be related to?

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- On the keyboard, press [Windows] The image "Windows key" does not exist. + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
- Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
- Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. That's correct. It was a software installed.
I uninstalled that software, removed the dll informed and, now, I can use the firefox.
Thanks.
