Firefox 45 crashed after update on Windows Vista, browser unresponsive, cannot get to Windows task manager, may go to blue screen after about 5 minutes or I force shut down by holding power button. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times - no help. Cleaned up lots of junk - no help, I did not think to record error message from blue screen. Please help. This message being sent from different computer.
