firefox crashes on startup, about:home crashes about:addons crashes
I had been using firefox for years without a problem and all of the sudden today it started crashing. first it was the newly opened tabs but now even about:home crashes, about:addons crashes, Tried uninstalling and deleting APPDATA mozilla folders, still same problem. If I manually type www.google.com it gets there no problem but once I hit search it crashes. I submitted few crash reports bp-5361b127-3a0e-4a53-bfca-f96e00181213 bp-1ed948b2-9c81-4062-810c-7e1090181213 I am getting this in the report ' jsimd_idct_islow_avx2' but earlier it was a different message. Recently ORIGIN got updated and I installed logitech setpoint to connect my keyboard to the receiver and then I uninstalled setpoint and all logitech software related to mouse and keyboard. Sidenote I just clicked on Search Mozilla Support for this signature and it got me to the website without crashing.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank You

Thank you for your reply. I tried those things, but it did not work. It also crashes in safe mode. Reinstallation after deleting the profile folder was useless. The driver updated graphic display and network adapter.
Please post any new crash reports.

I tried it but it was ineffective. Reinstallation in safe mode is similar.
I tried disabling hardware acceleration as suggested above. I tried safe mode, tab crashing still remains. I uninstalled 32bit version of firefox, deleted mozilla folder in %appdata%. Installed 64bit. Tabs still crashing so then I disabled hardware acceleration. Tabs still crashing. about:crashes doesnt show any reports, just says "no crash reports submitted". I didn't restart the computer after I unstalled 32bit.

Cor-el. I did everything you suggested. I even went as far as remove 32bit and install 64bit and disable hardware acceleration. Still tabs are crashing. in 64bit when I go to about:crashes I get an entry that says "no reports had been submitted".
