I open Firefox, and it crashes 5 seconds later. During those five seconds I click on 'Restore' and then it still crashes. After a few crashes I get the option to start in safe mode or restart, when I open in safe mode it still crashes. I haven't tried to reset it as I would like to keep all my settings...

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.

  1. Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
  2. In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
  3. From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
  4. Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
  5. Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
  6. Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your input guys! I just created a few new profiles and played around with the files, copying the ones I needed like extensions and the such, it is now working!
