Why does Firefox 33 keep crashing at startup?
As soon as I start Firefox, It immediately crashes. The only way I have found to gain access to it is through starting in safe mode. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, to no effect.
From reading through the error logs, it looks as if there is an access violation. Here are a few of the crash reports: bp-b8554a94-5053-4ba4-8944-cf8152141023 bp-bd9e37c9-0da6-4a44-830e-9f1fa2141023 bp-34a9e95f-0c47-4edc-8df1-2f0f42141023
Any help would be appreciated.

hello, probably that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver.
or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, start firefox into safemode by pressing the shift key while the application is launching & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Thanks philipp, turning off hardware acceleration has solved the issue.
