When attempting to start firefox, it immediately crashes. It was working fine a few days ago but now I can't even open in safe mode.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
