Firefox crashes soon after opening. It started when I was trying to delete all my browsing history. I told it to delete for the whole day. After that it started crashing or freezing. I tried starting in safe mode, uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox, renaming my preferences file, clicking the Refresh Firefox button on the help page. I tried restarting my computer a few times. I've been doing most of my troubleshooting research on Chrome or IE because Firefox crashes so much I can barely try the fixes. I'm not sure what else to do. I have Webroot, and did a check for viruses. There were none. Help!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.

Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes"?

It took a while because Firefox kept crashing. I eventually went into my profiles, with Firefox closed, and deleted all the places.sqlite files. This seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you!
