Certain problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. Please follow these steps one by one and tell us if it helped:
- Download the latest Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com
- Close all Firefox windows by going to File > Exit, confirm all upcoming messages.
- Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the Uninstall Firefox.
IMPORTANT: The uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do not check this option.
Once this is done:
- Go to Start > Run, enter %PROGRAMFILES% in the textbox and press Enter. An Explorer window should open.
- In the Explorer window, see if you can find a Mozilla Firefox folder. If you do, right-click it and select Delete. Confirm that you want to move the folder to the trash.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
