Firefox was running normally, then just disappeared. Would not open again from icon. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same situation, no window would open. Running Windows 7 on desktop. Found profile folder, but don't know what is safe to remove. Links on help page point to definitions, but not instructions beyond finding the profile folder.

hello, please run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.
