hello theloniusff, this is a crash caused by stardock's windowsblinds software, that you probably have running on the system as well... mozilla's developers are currently looking into that issue. in case you want to redownload firefox 36 for the moment you can do so at https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-36.0-SSL&os=win
