Firefox has stopped opening after an update. It worked the night before, and than, in the AM - no open or load - nothing. The other browsers work fine - Chrome and Explorer. I did a delete and reload - nothing, plus all the normal computer checking crap - still nothing. Whew??

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.
