Since today my Firefox always crashes if I'm starting it. It won't crash if I'd run it as administrator.

I've already tried

  • running in safe mode (crashes too)
  • disabling my anti-virus software
  • re-installing Firefox

So I'm out of ideas at the moment. Everything was fine until today, I didn't change anything! Thanks for reading, SHooDoX!

thanks SHooDoX, so about your particular crashes please refer to Firefox 43.0.3 startup crash with G DATA security software.

Thanks for the answer. I just found a work-around so I don't have to disable the browser-protection. Just needed to start Firefox in compatibility-mode (XP SP3).

as this is a rather ugly workaround, please see if you can get firefox to open up normally, after you've just ran a normal signature update in gdata first. if you're using a business variant of gdata security software you might receive the fix a little bit later, but it should still be imminent judging by the communication i've heard from gdata...
