Firefox crashes on launch (Mac Catalina0

Elton Jones

After completely removing all Firefox/mozill files both FF 12 and Extended release continue to crash on launch after reinstalling.

Most help answers deal with refresh/troubleshooting when FF is open. Option Open doesn't stop the crashes.

ff suddenly stopped working after no known changes when I turned my computer back on.

Please advise?
