Firefox was working 20 minutes ago, I went to fix a different problem I had with downloading and launching origins launcher. Now Firefox only will open to the outline of what you see when opening it up. I am able to open up the top right menu but when i click on something, nothing loads. When i go into type a website in and click enter nothing happens, text is put into the URL but no website shows. I checked my firewalls, Firefox is allowed there. I have access to my bookmarks and everything, but when I click on them to go to their sites, nothing happens either. But when I click on websites the url pops up in white text in the bottom left of the screen. Please help, this is incredibly annoying and I still haven't figured origins yet, lol.

OKAY SO ANYONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM HEED MY WORDS, or something along those lines. You need to download the lastest version of visual c++ off the Microsoft website. That fixed the problem for me and that was after quite a bit of tinkering with other files and settings within my computer. Doing this fixed two problems, firefox trying to bite its own tail and origins being a terrible game launcher to begin with.
