Every time I try to open up the program, it shows up on the task bar, but then it goes away. No messages, nothing hiding in Task Manager, nothing. I did not add additional plugins to it, and every time this happens, the only way for me to fix this issue is to re-install the program.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
