When it is in safe mode the wheel just spins and nothing happens. When reset firefox is selected nothing happens. I have erased firefox and redownloaded it many times and the same thing occurs.

Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
