Firefox crashes first time only. Afterwards, I can load and use it. I do not receive crash reports but have done all the recommended troubleshooting. Advice?
My Toshiba laptop is only a couple months old. I have checked to make sure everything is updated. Ever since I've installed Mozilla, it crashes when I open it. It will stay up for anywhere between 5 and 15 seconds before it crashes. When I open Mozilla after the crash, it works fine. I have tried all the suggested troubleshooting and am tired of waiting through that first crash to use the internet.
Also, I have next seen a Mozilla crash report window.

In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:

Okay. I pasted the troubleshooting info that you requested. Thanks in advance for helping; I've been banging my head against the wall with this problem.
As I see, your problems might be derivated from a plug-in. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

If that did not work, please give us crash report IDs so we can see what might have caused the problem. Remember: you should have first send Mozilla crash report information that we can check on databases before sending us any ID
Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.

Fixed. Many thanks! ( Any idea why I never saw a crash report though? Just curious.)
Maybe Firefox process was killed inmedately instead of showing before a crash report.
Firefox button->Options->Advanced->General [v] Submit crash reports
Ok. It seemed to be fixed for a while but now it's crashing again. same problem as last time. Help please.
