Have you tried to open firefox.exe in your install directory?
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
- Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
I did what you said but it didn't work ! Do you have another ideas ? I have old logs of my firefox did it will be helpful? I can upload the folder . I really want to surf the net with firefox :D .
Are you using a desktop shortcut to start Firefox or does this also happen if you try to open the Firefox.exe program via Windows Explorer?
In case of a desktop shortcut you can try to remove that shortcut and create a new shortcut.
This also happends when i try to open it via Windows Explorer it's my problem i will don't write when i can open it by Windows Explorer . I know much about computer but this problem was too much i need some help with it maybe it help another people !
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
