On 9/13/2016 we noted that every instance of Firefox quit working on all machines in our Windows Active Directory domain. The program crashes immediately on loading. To troubleshoot, we have:

1. rebooted machines 2. attempted safe mode 3. attempted new instances without an existing profile 4. Reinstalled new versions 5. scanned for malware 6. disabled software restriction group policies

None of the steps taken have had any effect. Primary OS is Windows 7, both x86 & x64

Must have been it. I was offsite for a few days, and on return everything was working fine! Thanks Fred...
