hello fishes22,

Can you confirm if you can open it from the ProgramFiles directory. It should be:- C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>

Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut. Add a space and -url "about:blank" to the target field in the Properties.
