Firefox starts up, sometimes the browser window will actually open, but either way it crashes before it fully loads. I can open it in safe mode and have therefore tried the suggestions in 'Troubleshooting extensions and themes', but it still crashes, even with all add ons and extensions disabled, after removing and reinstalling the latest version of Firefox and resetting the toolbar.

Your crashreport: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-f144bda2-12d0-4a31-94f8-318662111109 This is caused by Trusteer Rapport. Try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem According to the user in question 892517 Trusteer is aware of the problem and working on a fix.

Thanks Swarnava, you're a star. I've removed Rapport and Firefox is back to working as normal. Hooray! Thanks again.
