Whenever I tried to start firefox, it crashes and mozilla crash reporter pops out. Have tried all the trouble shooting option including uninstall and reinstall, but could not fix it. Can you help me out

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.
- On the keyboard, press [Windows] The image "Windows key" does not exist. + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- 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.
- Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
- Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

This is possibly a problem with "Websense Endpoint" software. Websense states that it only supports the Firefox ESR version, so you can consider to switch to that version if that is possible. You can try to disable or uninstall this software for now until there is an update that addresses this issue, so check for such an update.
You can contact Websense for support.
