Why will Firefox not start on my windows laptop but it says it is open in background
since last update, firefox will not start even after repeated attempts. It is apparently open as i cannot delete it from the laptop untill I restart laptop. I am running Windows 7 and i run Thunderbird successfully on my machine. I am forced to use IE to get onto the internet.

Does Firefox not start in Safe Mode?
- Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
- In the search box, type firefox.exe -safe-mode and press Enter.
- If the little Firefox Safe Mode window pops up, click the Start in Safe Mode button.
- For more details, see Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode
If Firefox doesn't start in Safe Mode, does the profile manager start? If yes, create a new profile and try starting Firefox in that profile.
