Hello I had Mozilla Firefox as my default browser on my Mac laptop

I got a message this morning that Firefox could not open

I tried several times but no luck

I read through some of the online HELP sites and deleted the Firefox app and reloaded it

I also cleared the browsing history on SAFARI and CHROME although I couldn't see why that would work

Still not able to get FIREFOX to open

Interesting... What mac os? Time to get your geek on!  ;-))

Not well versed in the process on mac, but you should be able to trace the process and see what happening. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+trace+app+process+on+mac&t=kde&ia=web

You can also try downloading a different version of Firefox (Beta, Dev, or Nightly) download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/
