Hi guys, It did it's auto-update and since then FF crashes (almost) everytime I start. Sometimes I am offered safe mode. Then it crashes when I do something like opening options. I restarted Win7, downloaded FF via IE, renamed the Program directory into OldFirefox and installed again, because I read about the clean re-install. No change. Is a complete uninstall necessary? Thanks.

Do you use either Citrix Xendesk or Websense Endpoint? There might be a new issue of startup crashes with one or both of those programs and Firefox 48.

Does it help if you also try in Windows own safe mode ?

I suppose it is possible you could have malware so it would be worth scanning with all the tools mentioned in this article

The crash Ids may give us some clue as to what is happening. Key in about:crashes and paste in to the next reply three or four of the crash IDs beginning bp-

Thanks jscher2000,

websense was it. Creating a qipcap.dll from an existing dll in the firefox directory solves it. An empty dll will throw an error.

Is it a Firefox problem or Websense?

Thx again, A.
