I am running an iMac, os x 10.10.5. When I attempt to launch the app the firefox Icon "bounces" in the dock and finally stops. Nothing happens. If I try to restart mac I have to force quit firefox to complete the restart. I have uninstalled Firefox several times and deleted the default profile in the library. Prior to the new update (a few days ago), it worked perfectly.
