Your System Details shows; Firefox 42.0 but the crash reports show; Version 40.0.3 Did you upgrade? Is the problem still there?

Hi Fred, Help about says I've got Firefox 42.0. Thing is I don't get the 'normal' Mozilla crash reporter pop-up but I get a more standard windows pop-up. So the error reports you're seeing may not be relevant I guess.

The crash reports are real. Please follow my instructions above.
