I have done all troubleshooting info and guides, it does start in safe mode, all add ons work in safe mode, but it does not generate a crash report, I have deleted FF and downloaded several times, ran CCleaner after each deletion.

All re-installs have the same problem.

hi, that appears to be a problem for users with the ghostery addon and an avast signature update that got released today unfortunately: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535589

OK I found a way to disable the Ghostery add on, and restarted FireFox, looks to be OK for now, working OK with Avast.

Will report back with any problems, Thanks for the info.
