firefox crashes when I try to make it default browser in windows 10
Firefox keeps crashing - I uninstalled and reinstalled and when I go to set it as my default browser it says firefox has stopped working. Also, can not install the patch. Very unhappy with this latest update!

Patch? What Patch?
. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}
You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}
You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
Hi - well I received a pop up about a patch. I ran a few security scans and nothing. Reinstalled a clean version and it is still crashing and will not allow me to make it my default browser. also checked my plug ins - all up to date...

That doesn't matter, it is still a fake.
