Firefox started crashing repeatedly 9/15/2014. It won't let me open a second browser, then says plugin container stopped working. Firefox hangs when I try to start with addons disabled, then won't load. Plugins are up to date, flash player is up to date. What else should I check or do? Thanks.

I deleted Firefox and redownloaded. That solved the problem.
