Firefox will not install on my laptop

The latest update to Firefox (33) did not work. After download it froze up with a partial black screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox several times with the same result. Symantec possible issue has been eliminated. My laptop runs windows 7 enterprise. Until now, Firefox has always worked for me. Its Google Chrome for now.

Other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.
