Firefox won't start up at all, I can't figure out how to fix it?

I've already looked at older posts on the forum, but nothing seems to work. When I click on the firefox logo nothing happens at all (It will try load for around 2 seconds then it stops). I can't run it in safe mode, I've tried making a new profile, I've tried restarting my computer and none of these things have helped. Does anyone know how I could solve this? I really don't want to go back to using IE.

Every time Firefox opened

I have the same problem getting into Mozilla. Occasionally it comes up when I click on it, but most times it does not. The hour glass stays on for a couple of seconds, then goes off.
