Firefox crashes when opening new tab
Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407
I have tryed: Clean install (with removing of C:prog..\mozilla) Uninstalling and deleting extensions Restarted Firefox in safe mode without addons/extensions. Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe
I can start firefox, but when i press the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and "Mozilla Crash-report" window opens. It seems like firefox it self can open a tab. For example when i do a fresh installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.
But when i want to open one it fails and Firefox shuts down. Its really wierd because i have never run in to this kind of problem before and i dont recall installing anything new before this problem showed up.

What is the setting of the new tab page?
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thx! For some reason the string was set to "about:newtab" or something like that. Changed the name to my default homepage and the problem was fixed. Any ideas on why this happend? I didn't change it myself.
Never the less! Thank you for saving my haircolour from turning gray of frustration. Was worried i had to turn to Chrome or.... IE....
Some programs are known to change user settings without consent.
Bookmark and use this; Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.
Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.
