Firefox crashes upon startup or within a minute or two of startup. Usually this happens pretty much every time I try to start it, but occasionally, Firefox will remain open for a few minutes before crashing. I've tried starting it in Safe Mode, and it also crashes then. I think it started happening with some version of Firefox 12, it kept happening when I updated to 13, and I just uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox 14.

Do you have covenanteyes installed on your computer? this looks like it is a crash caused by that program:

Actually yeah, that would be it. I forgot, but that reminded me... I remember a month or two ago Googling to see if people with Covenant Eyes were having issues with Firefox crashing (because I think the crashing started either after a Covenant Eyes update or a Firefox new version release) and couldn't find anything at the time. But, I just Googled it again, and apparently in the latest Covenant Eyes update (which was released last week), they fixed the issue. In the release notes: "Fixed compatibility issue which caused Firefox to crash."

So yeah, I'm going to update that and hopefully it'll be fixed! Thanks for your help!
