If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.

Thank you! I don't use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security but I will try to do the reinstall anyway. Internet Explorer doesn't open either. Not sure how I am going to get another browser to download it when I can't access the Internet?

Be sure to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing Firefox as the usual cause of this problem in that not all files got updated properly and some .ini files like application.ini and platform.ini are still older versions.
