Hi. As the title says, I can't start Firefox because it crashes instantly. It only works in safe mode.

This is what I tried so far, but it didn't work:

Restored Firefox.
Reinstalled Firefox and also deleted my profiles.
Disabled hardware acceleration.

These are my recent crash reports

Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me.

Thanks for your responses, I updated my graphics adapter driver, now I can use Firefox out of safe mode with hardware acceleration disabled.

There's another problem now, Firefox crashes when I try to start it with the profile manager, I use two different profiles, so I need that feature.

Here are two crash reports about the problem:

Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.

EDIT: I had to repair my windows installation with the installation disk, now Firefox works, thank you Tyler and cor-el for your time.

Try updating your graphics card driver, Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

If that fails disable hardware acceleration as described in that article.

That looks like a problem with the graphics display driver and hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
