Whenever I attempt to open Firefox, an error message comes up saying "Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I've rebooted my laptop a few times and uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox, but that hasn't helped.

What is your computer system?

Have you tried to; Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
