I tried to open firefox this morning and it does nothing. I uninstalled and re-installed and it still does Nothing. None of you won't start solutions are working. I can't move my bookmarks cause I can't open firefox. I only use firefox - so what's next for me???

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}
