Firefox crashes
This morning Firefox started crashing on startup. Tried reboot and still not working. Was fine yesterday. I open about 6 tabs (mostly to internal sites) and have been for months (years?). Cannot start in safe mode either so basically I can't use Firefox anymore until I get a solution.

Sorry to hear about your problems.
Have a look at this article: Firefox crashes and let us know, if it helped.

I suspect this relates to McAfee software, ensure that is up-to-date,and consider trying disabling it or if that fails try temporarily uninstalling it. (Maybe test whilst physically offline, in order to remove risk of using the internet without security software)

I have seen a few threads with this signature, but not one where anyone has got back after it being suggested McAfee software be uninstalled as a trial, possibly such computers are being used in a corporate environment.
This is a hard one since it's a startup crash. From looking at the crash report, the first thing I suspect is a problem/conflict with McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention. I'm not familiar with that particular product but maybe you can see if there is a way to disable it. Then see if Firefox will start.
