32 bit Linux mint Tessa 19.1 and Firefox goes straight to crash report. Download version listed as 66.0.1
I was having troubles with the Cinnamon desktop and had to switch video cards. I found Firefox crashed right away. I then replaced the video card and reloaded from scratch and the Cinnamon desktop works fine but Firefox still goes straight to crash report. In fact I tested and even Thunderbird goes straight to crash report. It does appear to send out the info and it created a report but I can't do a copy and paste of the report since I can't send anything out myself. The version that came with the Linux Mint 19.1 Distro 32 bit should be a 32 bit version. Both Firefox and Thunderbird is working fine on my other two 64 bit machines running Mint 19.1 64 bit.

If you can't get Firefox to open, you will have to do this the hard way.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.
Copy the most recent 5-7 File Names in the folder. Post the information in the reply box.
I can't do a copy and paste of the .txt files so this is all I get when opening the files. Since internet access is not working on that PC I do a copy and paste to a USB stick and then plug it into another PC to upload it.

That are problems with the Flash plugin.

Pepper Flash is not a newer version of Flash for Firefox but rather the PPAPI version of Flash Player Plugin (normally used in say Chrome, Chromium and Opera). The freshplayer wrapper plugin allows the Pepper Flash (PPAPI) to be used in web browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey.
Web browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey uses the NPAPI version of Flash Player.
Adobe has been supporting the same branch versions of Flash Player for Windows/Mac OSX also on Linux since mid December 2016 and with Beta versions before since mid 2016.
Adobe was only supporting Linux with the old 11/2 ESR branch up till Dec 2016. Before that the freshplayer wrapper became a thing in order to then have newer branches of Flash versions running in Firefox.

All I can say is both Thunderbird and Mozilla crashed and I installed Pepper Flash and they now work.
It is the freshplayer wrapper that allows the Pepper Flash to run in Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short.
