Firefox crashes repeatedly even in safe mode

Most recent Crash ID is 1091835d-1021-40c4-a3e1-0aeec0201212. Frequently - generally several times a day - a tab will crash with the "Gah! This tab has crashed!" with recover and close options. Less frequently, Firefox as a whole crashes. Sometimes the "crash reporter" window appears, but not usually. I reported this some time ago, and received suggestions about disabling plugins, updating drivers, and safe mode. I can't function in Windows safe mode because too many things don't work. However, I did update my drivers. I have run FF in safe mode several times, getting crashes about as frequently. I am fairly certain that I uninstalled and reinstalled FF at some point during this process but I am not certain.
