Firefox does not open a browser window!

Here are my FF details!

When I open the FF the app starts but no window opens. The app goes to 200kb and then drops continuously to 110kb in the task manager! If I start in protected mode it starts straight up! What is going on?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
