Firefox crashes when i open Windows Explorer
Firefox crashes always when i (for example) want to upload a Youtube video. It always happens then, when i want to select a file to upload in Windows Explorer. Firefox crashes, and then it closes itself and when i restart Firefox, everything is reloaded, but i can´t upload files anymore without crashing!

thanks, those two are crashes with the flash plugin from back in 2014, so they won't be related to the current crashing problem i'm afraid :-/

I copied you some of the information Windows gives you when a program crashes, maybe that can help you (its all in german) :

unfortunately this only contains very generic information. so all that i could advice is to make sure that firefox isn't getting sandboxed by any security tools and is marked as a trusted program there and uninstall all programs that might hook into windows explorer and expand the functionality there...
and in addition you could try to run a scan with various other security tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & eset online one-time scanner.
