So, I tried clicking Firefox. Simple enough. Tried opening a new tab. Firefox crashes. I tried refreshing/restarting. Firefox crashes. I tried opening Safe Mode. Firefox not responding. Tried clicking on the URL bar, bookmarks, or anything in the awesome bar. Firefox not responding. I tried restarting the computer. I tried reconnecting to the internet. I have tried everything from going in and removing the parent block to restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled.

At this point, I am ready to just uninstall it, but I cannot access my bookmarks list and there are a few specific links I need. If I cannot leave the main page, does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? Is there anywhere else where the bookmarked pages might be saved?

Thank you.

What is your computer system, and what Firefox are you using?

Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites.
