Firefox crashes
I used to run Firefox without problem but lately had been using Safari. Wanted to get back to Firefox last week and downloaded the newest version. Since then I can't start Firefox; it crashes on start-up every time. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I'm not especially techy but I have tried safe-start and a clean start with no success. Did submit crash reports, the last one about 10 minutes ago (Crash ID: bp-18a0ccaa-1f9e-4478-ada4-3ea8d0181109). If someone could help, that would be great. I am really fed up with Safari :(. Thanks in advance.

Brilliant. Removing the FB plugin did it. Thanks so much, FredMcD.

Yes to the first question: latest version of Firefox 63.0.1. I don't know about Facebook because I haven't been able to check on Firefox. It hasn't been on / updated for a while.
