Cannot even open Firefox and crash reports do nothing
Every time I open ( or attempt to open) Firefox, I get a little window that says Mozilla crash report and says something along the lines of Mozilla crashing and that I will try to recover my tabs when it restarts. The problem is that no matter what I do it will never restart so I cannot even get the Mozilla window open to even disable all add ons/ start Mozilla in safe mode. What do I do to fix this because it happened extremely all of a sudden. Thank you for any help

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.
- Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, enter %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 into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
Thank you very much. Here are the five crash Ids in order of most recent, second most recent, etc.

Once again thank you very much for helping me out. I really don't want to take time out of my day to go to some micro center or something.
Looks like a Bug report exists for that type of crash.

It looks like both the Kaspersky Security Scanner and MS Safety Scanner programs will find that Malware.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
