Running the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP and everytime options in the tools menu it opens a tab and instantly shuts down. Also if I open troubleshooting information and click on Profile Folder/show folder it does the same just closes down. I have tried uninstalling reinstalling, deleting profiles turning off the plugins etc etc and still nothing works

v49 and 50 have been causing problems of late.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
