Immediately upon update to 101.0 firefox will NOT start - ever! It has all my passwords, etc. HELP!

If I ever get this going again, I will NOT allow automatic updates. I urgently need to get to some sites I can NOT get to now for three or four days fighting with this. It has never started once since the update. I don't know the previous version. In terminal this is what is says:

It happens to many already: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1378672 You can only revert for the time being.

Correct me if I am wrong, but reverting will delete all personalized passwords, settings, tabs, etc. I'd NEVER do that! I can not wait much longer without harm to my life - seriously!...I'll never trust Firefox again! Some report it opening to a blank frame. I only get it crashing and wanting to send a crash report. HELP!

What OS? Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run it from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
