Firefox crashes

Firefox crashes on startup after update from version 33.1.1 to any subsequent version update since . Error reporter opens when it crashes. Crash happens in safe mode too, and also after Firefox refresh. Uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch, still happens.

Suspect app/program data folder issue, or potentially registry, but don't know where to start. Help? :)
