Since the latest update to Firefox Nightly a couple days ago, Nightly has no longer worked / opened for me. Every single time I try to open Nightly it immediately crashes and sends a report to Mozilla. I cannot figure out how to start in safe mode or otherwise fix the problem. I really need to be able to use Nightly again very soon so I would appreciate any help / assistance. Thank you!!
