Fire Fox keeps crashing when I open new links. Sometimes they are videos. I've noticed this is happening both with Firefox and Google Chrome. Both are installed on my computer. It happens even if both are not open at the same time. I have opened FireFox is safe mode and it still crashes.

Apparently I have a lot of plugins running. Honestly I don't know which ones need to stay and which ones need to go.

That is a problem with CovenantEyes (nmSvc.dll). You will have to disable or uninstall this program if it makes Firefox crash.
