Firefox won't open. It only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit
I'm using Firefox 130.00 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running Catalina (10.15.7). It has run flawlessly for years, but suddenly won't open, and only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit. It stopped working on Thursday, 9/12, which, I notice, was the day it was last modified with an automatic upgrade. I have quit and tried restarting multiple times, but am unable to get into it at all and, therefore, cannot access Troubleshooting Mode. I have NOT yet tried deleting it and downloading a fresh copy. I would like, if possible, to retain my open tabs, Bookmarks, and History.
Please advise—and many thanks!

Post a similar screenshot showing what version you're running. Did you get Firefox from here? --> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release Or did you just go through the update process?

Firefox just automatically updates on my MacBook Pro; I don't go anywhere to get the recurring updates.

I take it you drag and dropped over the Post a Reply Box.

Do you think that's what it was: that this newest update is incompatible with my Mac's OS? If so, I'm glad for you—and curious whether you have a suggestion as to what I might do next?
