Fire Fox now crashes every time I try and start it, an afer several attempts at a normal start allows me to start in safe mode, this has just happened over the last 24-48 hours. Not added any new extensions, would like to be able to use FireFox again

Did you close and restart Firefox or possibly reboot the computer

Thanks seemed to have solved by updating Graphics driver and disabling hardware acceleration.
