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.
- Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, enter %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!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
Strangely the most recent crash report that came up was for 15th September which is this one
Crash ID: bp-af71f40e-a254-4ff5-aaf9-ac9c42130915
ok thanks, the crash report you've cited initially is coming from microsoft and doesn't contain much information needed to see what issue is at the root of the crash.
in the report from last month, some custom windows theme or user interface customization may have played a part.
some general troubleshooting advice for crashes is also available at: Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly)
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Try to use one of these to see if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode:
- On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
- On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
- Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
