Firefox will not open at all.

I have tried the Windows Uninstall, and the Firefox Uninstall Helper and can't get them to run.

It seems all the answers about how to fix problems in Firefox start with a Firefox window open, which is useless to me since I can't get it to do anything!!!!

Please help!
