Stuck in safe mode. Troubleshooting won't open. Desktop links won't work. Any ideas?

It was never intentionally started in safe mode. I cannot reset Firefox. When I try from the safe mode pop-up, nothing happens...it simply stays at the safe mode pop-up. When I click on safe-mode, Firefox open an extremely minimized window that, when maximized, appears to navigate without problems as long as you type in the URL of where you want to go. If you click on troubleshooting, nothing happens. If you click on add-ons, nothing happens. Can't figure this one out....

Go to Mozilla.org and get the full install.

Interesting. Looks like it might be an issue with the installer. I've verified which version I'm using and located a troubleshooter from MSDN for the installer. will try that and then try and re-install. Thanks for the tip.

Didn't work. Kept getting 2324 error code from installation. Tried installing other programs, including another browser, and all were successful. It's only Firefox that I can't get to install. Gonna have to roll up my sleeves and get creative here....
