This was one of my first results on Google searching for this problem, so I thought I should give it a reply now that I can reply from Firefox.

I'm really not sure what fixed it. One of the pages I read when I was reading about mswsock.dll suggested any issues with it might be caused by spyware or a virus. This seemed likely since I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and had yet to protect it. I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and when I restarted my computer to finalize the install of MSE, Windows updated. When I got back into Windows I immediately started a scan, but the second thing I did was try to open Firefox, which actually opened. So three possible fixes:

-Merely installing Microsoft Security Essentials. Least likely to have fixed it.

-Updating Windows. More likely to have fixed it, but still doubtful.

-Restarting my computer. Most likely to have fixed it. It seems to me that rebooting hasn't been a magic fix since I ran Windows 98, so I often forget to try it, but honestly most of the time that's all a computer needs is to be turned off and on.

Good luck.
