Hello,

Firefox always crashes when I try to install it. I have tried many versions including 75,78,80. I have tried starting it in safe mode. Starting in safe mode also crashes. Running Windows 10.

I have tried: uninstalling and reinstalling rebooting the computer scanning for viruses (Did not find any) Installed newest video driver starting in safe mode (never works)

Chrome and Edge run fine.
