Hi Guys, Up to last night my Firefox was working fine. This morning it does not open at all. I have reinstalled it, tried safe mode, created new profiles and whatever step you can think of even removing my internet security completely but does not open at all. It just blinks momentarily and that's it.

Any idea as to how to make it run again??

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Thank you for your reply my friend. I am running OSX 10.11.6 on a Macbook Pro and my Firefox was the latest version.

Are you using Mac beta?

I suspect you have the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265998
