I have recently installed the new version of Firefox and Firefox has been crashing ever since updating my windows. I have uninstalled the old one and installed the new one and it is still crashing and shutting down all the time.

I will be on a page and then if I go to another one Firefox will crash. I have not had any issues with Firefox until now
