Let's make sure your system is clean.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Not a trace  ? No icon on desktop or task bar  ? Nothing in Windows Control Center  ?

May I suggest that you download Firefox (again) from here :

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

And don't remove the installer after you are done, Just In Case.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I reinstalled Firefox and got it working. I normally use safari but like to switch back and forth. I just don't understand why one day it's there, and the next it's gone.
