Just downloaded firefox and can't even start it, as it crashes immediately when the screen opens. Mozilla crash reporter opens up instead.

Crash ID: bp-9b7e7f0c-d322-40c5-a8f0-b415c2150904

Won't start in safe mode either.

This is possibly a problem with "Websense Endpoint" software. You can try to disable or uninstall this software for now until there is an update that addresses this issue.
