Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.
Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== after recent update of Java

If you think Java is the cause, un-install Java in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, reboot your system and see if Firefox will load.
You can always re-install Java if it is not the cause.
You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins --- See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems See Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
