Firefox will not start
Two days ago firefox stopped working for me. When I click on the the icon nothing happens, the only way to get it to launch is to run the installer. I've tried all the institutions on the this site to fix the issue and nothing works. I've tired to completely remove everything related to firefox then install it, this doesn't work. My guess there is a corrupt file somewhere that I need to remove but I've tired every where I can think of.

Well out of the blue it started working again, something I did must have got it working but I'm not sure what. I should say when it started to mess there many problems that happened at once. In addition to not starting flash based videos would not play, the plugin would just crash. The uninstall reinstall helped with that at least. My guess some files got corrupted is caused the whole program to do weird things.

Open your file browser to the computers Programs Folder. Can you start Firefox from here?
