The recent Firefox update release apparently has an installation bug. Firefox will not launch, but the EXE is running. Please advise.
The recent Firefox release has failed to work. The system is running Windows 10 with all current update from Microsoft and related software and OS that supports the Mozilla browser. The attempt to launch Firefox results with the EXE running as per Task manager logging but no browser display. Re-installing via another browser to manual install Firefox update has been done as well as a cold reboot to clear any hanging processes.
