Crashes a few seconds after opening. Displays "plugin-container.exe" at times. Have refreshed Firefox, still crashes. Uninstalled Firefox then reloaded, still crashes. Was working before yesterday. It has run long enough to restart in safe mode, then crashes. Have tried starting with add on disabled, still crashes.

Do you have nvidia's network access manager or forceware network manager software installed? Disable / remove it.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

Cannot find any recent crash reports, when the crash report screen comes up I get an error in transmitting it. Started computer in safe mode, firefox still crashes. It starts and runs for a few seconds and displays the " this is embarrasing" screen. I have always liked firefox but I have been working on this for two days.
