Firefox crashes
So this morning whilst watching a video my cursor froze so I simply switched the laptop off then on again.
when I switched it back on it started a windows update which it then said "we could not compete the update, reverting changes"
Now I can shutdown and switch on fine with it only promoting the update again if I restart.
However since then whenever I open firefox the crash reporter cones up immediately.
I've tried opening it in safe mode and refreshing and still nothing.
The last 5 crash reports ids are:
1549038602 (labelled as last crash) 1549002736 (all others labelled as installtime) 1547580304 1545087874 1542374872

That is a Last Resort because this could cause files on the hard drive to be corrupted.

Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders.
