Firefox crashes on startup, even in safe mode
Firefox just started crashing on startup, even in safe mode.
I also tried creating a new profile (which Firefox did let me do), but it crashed as soon as I tried to use the new profile.
The only way I could get it to start is by setting it to work offline, which obviously isn't very useful.
Here's a few crash IDs:

bp-c11bab84-69e6-4516-b3a5-8f50f2151011
The last ID is for is the first crash I got, which didn't happen on startup.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still not sure what was wrong, but a reboot of the computer has fixed it.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:

If the above does not help,
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

Note that this might have been a hardware acceleration issue.
