Hi, please check the output when you use the commandline to run Firefox
command: firefox
As Scribe said above, you may want to use safemode
command: firefox --safe-mode
Firefox tends to dislike when 2 separate firefox instances are running, so maybe kill firefox or restart your computer
command: killall firefox
If these don't solve your issue, have you tried reinstalling firefox
command: sudo apt remove firefox && sudo apt update && sudo apt install firefox
Thank you, Andmagdo

This can sometimes happen when a security program/AV blocks it.
You could also see if it will start in Safe Mode Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
This might be of some help Install Firefox on Linux.
