I upgraded Windows 10 and suddenly firefox stopped launching. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled it after rebooting, and it still will not launch. I am using AVG Free as my antivirus, not avast which I have heard can cause problems with firefox.

Does the Firefoc icon show up in the computer task bar?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
