Firefox crashes in safe mode
Firefox was working fine until I switched to Comcast Internet provider and they had me install Constant Guard. I uninstalled the Constant Guard and then uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and ran it in safe mode, but it still crashes before actually opening up with crash reporter coming up. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately like I said, I can't access any of the browser's features because it crashes before it actually opens up. Maybe uninstall it and have it delete all my personal settings etc...? Thanks!
Can you start Firefox in save mode and at least bring up the Safe mode start window or launch the Profile Manager?

If a new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
