Have been using firefox for several years. Upgraded to Windows 10 several months ago. Just today, Firefox started crashing (freeze/not responding) after startup. (running v44) Will load and may show a webpage, but crashes when trying to navigate to anything else. Crashes in Safe Mode also. Trying to get crash logs. Found but none are being loaded/saved (last logs are from years ago) Tried fresh install, no change. What next
