I get crashes relatively regularly and can't see anything that tells me why. It most often happens while watching YouTube videos. This latest crash also happens in safe mode and now I can't start firefox at all.

My latest crash ID is: bp-2351dc3c-c3f0-4b04-954a-a19a10181130

Do you mean Firefox won't start at all? Even in Safe Mode?

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

Do Not remove any profile folders.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

I tried a "refresh firefox" but was still unable to start Firefox but have since rebooted my machine and Firefox now starts (but lost all my tabs etc.)

If I get this again, I'll report back :)
