Firefox Crash on Program Startup - WIndows 7

Hello there - hoping for a hand to fix this. Several months ago Firefox crashed while it was in use - void of any update process. Upon reopening, the main window would launch and before any tabs could load it would crash again. I attempted to open in troubleshoot mode with the identical result. I gave it a break and used Chrome but in returning to this issue today the same has occurred. This time after the troubleshoot mode crash, I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed fresh (this was an upgrade from v89 to v92). Upon opening post update the browser crashed again. Each time this happens I have received a crash report screen which I accepted and it was reported as successfully submitted. However, when I open the crash report folder only two appear to have been saved - one old from the first occurrence (6/2021) and one from today(8/10/21). Both of these are linked below for review.

This is on an older Windows 7 machine that honestly I know should be updated but this is only used for light gaming and web surfing and I am not interested in an OS upgrade as I disagree with with the business practices of Microsoft - I find their policies are rather intrusive as a consumer.

I hope I've given enough information about the issue here and my system, thanks in advance for any help!

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392911#c8 looks to me more like there may be a faulty/unreliable disk or interface in the machine than an actionable Firefox bug.

This report is the same as the one above.

Bug 1392911 Opened 4 years ago Updated Just now startup Crash @ GlyphDataElement<T>::GetExistingGlyphs

They are thinking the crashes may have something to do with fonts.

I called for more help.


Use these links to create a new profile. Use this new profile as is. Is the problem still there?

Thanks for the guidance FredMcD

Unfortunately I didnt get very far with these steps. I was able to open the profile manager via Windows + R but when I went to create the new profile the profile manager crashed. I did find a new crash ID for this: bp-4c22cbc3-8e8d-43bb-8432-74c2b0210911

None of the other links offered a work around that I could tell unless I missed understood something.

Same as the other reports

The scandisk corrected it, thank you!

For reference, my result output of the correct disk errors are below. I'll be scheduling a back up and harddrive replacement this week.

Thank you so much for the assist!

Great to hear, and sorry the problem was the disk. Replacing the disk is a good idea.
