Firefox crashes
Every time I try and launch Firefox, I receive the popup window saying Mozilla Crash Reporter. The options are to restart Firefox or Quit Firefox. When I choose restart, the same thing occurs. When I quit, it closes the window but I still can't launch it. I've tried to uninstall Firefox completely thru Control Panel > Programs and re-download the latest version and re-install. This does not fix the problem. I continue to get the Mozilla Crash Reporter window. I've tried to launch in Safe Mode by holding down shift key when clicking Firefox but that does nothing different. I've rebooted my PC several times. I've looked in Task Manager for anything running that is obvious relating to Firefox but seeing nothing. I'm not sure what else I can try. Please help.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- On the keyboard, press [Windows] The image "Windows key" does not exist. + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
- Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
- Paste each ID with bp- into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

thanks, unfortunately this crash is caused by the websense/forcepoint security software that is running on your device.
i presume that's in a corporate environment - please get in contact with your it department to make sure that websense is fully up to date, as it has the tendency to crash newly released firefox versions until they adapt accordingly.
another option would be to install an esr version of firefox: Old versions of Websense cause startup crashes in Firefox
