Version 63.00 constantly crashes
Hello,
Running windows 10 64bit pro. Just updated new version of Firefox update v.63 64bit but constantly crashes. Tried to fresh install it but keeps crashing, never opens. Reverted back to version 62.0 and disabled the updates. I would always like to use the updated versions, but this time it will not even open, crashes each time. Uninstalled in safe mode and reinstalled v.63 but still crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated as Firefox is my default browser for years and want to be on the safe side to keep it updated.
Thank you kindly.
Joseph

You might want to uninstall FF completely and delete the Mozilla folder and then restart and reinstall to see if the problem was firefox or something else.
Thank you for your post. I have tried your advise as well. Still, after fresh install, just a crash windows open each time.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
While still in Safe Mode,
