I have this problem, tag me if you need questions. Note: this also happens in "Start in Safe Mode" window and firefox has completely become unusable.
(In reply to Salar Khalilzadeh from comment #2) > need questions. *have questions Note 2: These crashes started when I updated windows through windows update.

hi sergey, the crashes started to dramatically rise again yesterday - do you have any insight into that?: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?signature=cmdshim32.dll%400x135b&date=%3E%3D2017-06-12T07%3A42%3A39.000Z#graphs

Sorry if I'm adding noise here, but is there a way that we can protect or mitigate against this type of thing? Are we at the mercy of all 3rd party software?

marco has spun up some try builds but unfortunately it looks like we cannot get cmdshim32.dll out of our process with our usual dll blocklisting mechanism. the issue is causing quite a stir in the support forum too: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/firefox?owner=all&tagged=bug1376831&show=all

hi all, We did the hotfix release of CIS 10.0.1.6258 that is aimed to address KB4025342 incompatibility issues at July 12th. All existing CIS instances are being prompted to update to latest CIS version automatically. Could you check that issue is fixed with latest CIS 10, please?

thanks, the automatic prompt to update to v.6258 seems to have fixed the issue on a device where i had test-installed the comodo firewall and firefox is no longer crashing on startup there.
The crash rate seems to be going down at this point, ~400 crashes per day rather than 4000. Do we have any info on whether people are updating? Marco, what is our situation with blocklisting DLLs?

(In reply to Liz Henry (:lizzard) (needinfo? me) from comment #15) > Marco, what is our situation with blocklisting DLLs? Philipp tested my try builds, the blocklist was ineffective.

In crash stats, I'm not seeing reports for 57 or 58 (beta, nightly.) And there have been less than ~500 crashes in the past week in release. :philipp observed that updates to third party software have fixed the issue. I'm marking this as 57 and 58 unaffected, but will leave open.
