When I try and start firefox it shows the computer is thinking but then nothing happens. I tried restarting, safe mode, reinstalling. After reading up I found its probably a corrupt file, so I logged onto my computer's guest profile and it worked on there. Is there anyway to get it to work on my original profile? It would be really inconvienient to have to start a new profile for this

IF you want to solve the problems on your original profile, perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles on (don't forget to start Firefox using your Original Profile):

Clear Cookies & Cache Clear the Network Cache Use the "Remember History" setting as described in this article -> Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track Start Firefox in -> Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode to check if your add-ons/extension are causing the problem. Also see this article -> Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems Check and tell if its working.
