factory reset my comp firefox worked now crashes on startup even after clean install only ad on ms silverlight no outdated programs only works in safe mode
My computer is basically new. I have Avast anti virus, steam (CS:GO sims3+pets only games installed), Google Chrome (installed with avast), Magic iso, Wd my cloud server software (for my home network cloud), Microsoft silverlight and that's it. Firefox will only start in safe mode I have tried clean install of the latest version and searching for updates in safe mode my adobe plugins are up to date I have disabled all else. The only websites I have visited in firefox were Facebook to login and save my password clicked no links, Netflix to find the Silverlight plugin, Gaia online to save my password. that's it now it wont start without crashing in any other mode what can I do.
