I received an automatic update on Firefox. After the update I can no longer open Firefox. Just a black tab shows. I uninstalled it and re-installed and still nothing. I even did a reset and no success. I'm at the point of uininstalling for good.

Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut. Add a space and -url "about:blank" to the target field in the Properties.
