Firefox crashes
I have used Firefox for my Browser for years. It just recently started crashing. Every minute or so. I cannot research without it crashing. I have to change browser if this is not fixed.
Nothing has changed in my Operating System, Windows 10, or other applications. I totally deleted Firefox including registry and reinstalled at least 4 times, just keeps crashing.

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
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?
If it crashes, post that report.
If you can't get Firefox to open, you will have to do this the hard way.
