I would kill the process and try to start in Safe Mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf Then clear the browser cache. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache

You could try starting in troubleshoot/safe mode using the command line.

If that doesn't help, your best path may be to create a new profile, which you can do with Firefox closed or open.
