Refuses to work after 11/16/17 update
This program has gone to crap. Firefox has always been my default browser, but after today's update, I might need to find a new browser. It freezes, lags, and crashes every few seconds. I tried refreshing as you advise others to do, have tried all recommendations you guys have made to others. How many people need to make this complaint before you do something about it. I myself will be trying out new browsers since you guys have utterly ruined one of the best browsers.

None of this works, actually after doing what you requested Firefox closed and now will not open at all. I click on the link over and over and nothing. You guys keep proposing these fixes, when it is on your end. I personally know 13 friends already who have had the same problem.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
