I can't open Firefox. When I try, I get the error message, "The application had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash. Details: the application did not identify itself."

The ID of the last crash report, which was sent on 5-5-15, was bp-d94f2d7c-ba7f-4b4a-8eff-137bd2150505.

Thank you for your help!
