Whenever I open firefox, the Mozilla Crash Reporter window opens. This has been happening since yesterday afternoon.

I went to a third party site that explained how to open Firefox in safe mode. Once in safe mode, I was able to apply updates and I no longer have a problem.

This has happened on my Macbook too. It freezes for a couple of seconds then it goes to the crash reporter.
