Firefox won't open, I keep getting the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I tried updating everything listed in the troubleshooting page on your site.

Would you provide some of the crash IDs so that we can examine them? You can get to them by clicking on the start menu and then in the search box pasting %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\ into it, then press enter. A window should appear open the submitted folder, open the files named like bp-24b67e26-1fb4-4773-8341-601e32110926.txt and copy and paste the crash id to this question.

Thank you for responding. I did include the crash ids in the form that I filled out to submit this, I don't know why they don't show up here. I also had filled out all my plug-ins and that my operating system is windows 7 home premium.
The lastest ids are:
- bp-d17dadec-4efb-4e6c-941a-f33292110927
- bp-f9eae6c5-9704-4ff2-9ca6-a60af2110927
- bp-4642af4f-78be-4f58-8734-f53fd2110927
- bp-b2588606-82be-4b72-a781-959cf2110927
Thank you. [ed. formatting]

If you need any of that info, it looks like you can see it next to the original post, to the right under system details, and click more system details.
Thanks!

After running through all of the programs, (the last took over 12 hours!) Firefox is finally working again. Thank you for your help!
