Hi ionnisp, Sorry you are having problems. Well done in trying a clean install and posting the Crash ID

That is crashing because of a problem with FlashPlayer. That particular crash was a startup crash with Firefox crashing after 4 seconds. Are you able to start Firefox and use the addons manager to set Flash Player to never activate, that should allow Firefox to run without crashing. (You appear to have posted form Firefpx 39 but I do not know if that was a different machine you had to use) Next we will try to sort out why it crashes with FlashPlayer.

If you are unable to use Firefox then create a new additional Firefox profile for troubleshooting and test purposes. If you then start Firefox using that profile it will start with a new homepage and no Flash Player content so hopefully it will run ok

Please post back saying how you get on and what works now.

I very much doubt the problem will turn out to be directly caused by the Firefox update.

If you wish to try another Firefox version, then for now whilst using flashplayer try using an additional install of the third party Firefox portable ESR:

Meanwhile please paste two or three crash IDs into your reply from crashes that occurred whilst in Firefox safemode and with all other plugins disabled.

That is a problem with the Shockwave Flash plugin.

You will be in a better position to fix Firefox if it is not crashing at startup!

Please try as I suggested upthread using the standard Firefox in a new profile, safe mode and with all plugns including Flashplayer disabled.

That should have no Flash content and should work ok. Are you able to confirm that please ? Alternatively if it crashes then please provide the Crash ID.

Sorry. Using Firefox Portable or Google Chrome may be the quickest option for you at the moment.

You should not need to be a computer expert, but you are doing well already by posting a question here.

The steps I suggest may take you longer than it would take me to do something similar. They will not take you 2-3 hours. The will probably take less than 10 minutes, including 5 minutes reading what to do and most of the time just waiting for Firefox to close down and reopen.

Whatever is broken appears to be on your machine. It is not a problem that everyone sees. I doubt it will be fixed on your machine by any Firefox update so unfortunately if you wish to use Firefox you will need take action yourself. Unless you have any junior experts around to help you. Most school children understand computers now.
