Firefox crashes on startup in Windows 10
I'm unable to get Firefox to run on my Windows 10 laptop. Firefox does not even open when I start it. I tried uninstalling and doing a clean install but still get the same problem. Any help appreciated Thanks Vivek

I have resolved the problem by updating my Windows Security settings. I needed to exempt Firefox from Export Address Filtering
Thanks for the help

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
- Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

As a test, disable your protection programs. Then try going to Mozilla.org
