After upgrading to the new version, my Firefox browser would not open. I uninstalled Firefox alon with deletion of bookmarks. After re-installing Firefox, my browser remained unable to be opened. How do I get a browser to open?

See:

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
