I am unable to use Firefox for past 1 week. Opening theFF brings up a pop-up which says "Firefox quit unexpectedly" and gives option to Reopen. But clicking on Reopen does not help since i get the pop-up again.

Please check the attached report and help me out. I have tried reinstalling FF but does not help with this issue.

Here is the dump from the crash report.
