I've been using Firefox for about 3 years. Today, I ran a scan of my computer Webroot Anti Virus and deleted all "risky stuff" they checked. Don't know if this is a coincidence but right after the scan I could not open Firefox. I receive the message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found. Reloading application may remedy this." I reloaded Firefox, the current version, clicked on open and received the same message. I've reloaded Firefox 3 more times with the same results. Now I need HELP.

See if you can make Webroot restore that file in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox and make sure that Webroot doesn't do that another time.

You can find the latest Firefox release here:
