Did you try launching it from the start menu? Also, did you try restarting your computer?

Look in your Task Manager: right click an empty area of the Taskbar then Task Manager. If firefox.exe is running right click it and choose End Process. Then try to start it again. If it does now start and this issue persists you might want to reinstall or repair it via Add or Remove Programs.

Hi Rick310

Where did you download the installer from?

Maybe try a different download / place. The installer itself may be corrupt.

Heres the troubleshooting guide from Mozillazine regarding start problems:

Hi again

Follow this guide to fully uninstall FireFox. Be sure to follow the guide to the letter.

http://kb.mozillazin...efox#On_Windows

Then download a new installer. Install it.

You could try disconnect from the net, shutdown all security programs, and then
install it. In case a security program is blocking something.

Hello Rick. A long shot but have you tried opening Firefox in Safe Mode? Does it open then?

Another thing to try is booting your computer in Safe Mode.
