So I accidentally hit logout for Win10Pro and briefly managed to hit cancel aborting the logout. I then tried to resume my activities but Firefox becomes erratic not loading webpages.

I reboot the machine and try to open Firefox, nothing, just fail start with no background services, the execution just fails out entirely.

I passive reinstall from Mozilla.org and this time get a background service but still no browser window.

Finally I delete the primary installation of Firefox and reinstall.

This ultimately appears to have solved the problem,


One reason I post this, is I couldn't find a 'repair' executable if there is one and this is an odd encounter.

Hi, there is no Repair executable other than the Refresh Feature. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings Or Download a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ or from the FTP Site

This is what I recommend as is 7mins to do : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0 with a Full Version Installer
