Firefox crashes at startup
I have always used Firefox on my W7 laptop, but following the 37.0.1 update Firefox always crashes at startup. I have tried most of the recommended 'fixes' (full antivirus checks, fresh install etc) but not those relating to Safe Mode as the crashes don't let me get that far. I have tried using the 'Shift + FF Start' technique but Firefox still crashes . 37.0.1 works fine on my old XP desktop and on my W7 VM XP mode so I'm at a loss what to do next. The last Crash Report listed the following, if it's any help:
