Since a couple of days TB won't start up. When I try starting it, it will show the screen at first, but while loading the full screen it crashes after a couple of seconds. I tried starting it in TB safe mode, in windows safe mode, after uninstalling and reinstalling. I use windows 7 and the latest updated version of TB. I simultaneously uninstalled Spotify, but can't see how that causes TB to crash? A crash report appears after every crash, is it any helpful if I post that here? Thanks for thinking along and helping in advance!

The last two crashes are a different signature - nsMsgDBView::FnSortIdUint32 bp-1c5cb55c-9318-4717-b727-617180170727 - which point to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698093
