FireFox will not start due to message indicating that ssl3.dll is missing and indeed it is not in the program files. But I can not seem to be able to reinstall Firefox or to copy the ssl3.dll file into the program files. Help?

Webroot identified ssl3.dll as a threat and deleted it. Now I can not start Firefox, nor can I copy ssl3.dll into the Firefox Program file. I tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but it always shows as an upgrade and does not seem to add ssl3.dll. HELP?
