Just this morning, at times Firefox 28 won`t open unless refreshed is pushed. Also, after refresh it still won`t open sometimes. Any ideas?

What do you mean with refreshed?

Do you need to click the Reload button on the location bar or do you need to start Firefox another time because Firefox closes without opening properly?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
