Once open, nothing in firefox works. Bookmark bar wont load, cant open options, add ons. Wont open in safe mode either.
I rebooted my computer last night, when I opened firefox afterwards, it just hangs. I cannot open a web page, I cannot open options, my book marks do not show up until I deselect the option to show, then enable, but nothing loads. I cannot close firefox unless I go into task manager to end it. I have sent 2 bug reports under this email address. I cannot open in safe mode by holding shift and clicking but was able to under the ? menu. No change in safe mode, just continuously loads.
I.E. and all other internet based programs work just fine.
Windows 10 pro AMD 6300 6 core processor 16GB RAM 64 bit OS Norton 360 (have had on and not changed for years).
Let me know what other information could help.
Thanks!

I wouldn't call it a solved problem, as it wasn't fixed, I just deleted everything and started over.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
Thanks, but that did not work.
I'm sure there's a simple solutions, just cant figure it out or what changed as I didn't change anything before the reboot.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

I did a Norton's scan, found nothing.
I did a system file scan, no issues found.
Walked through the 'Firefox wont load but IE does' and did the different steps, but nothing fixed that.
So uninstalled Firefox, then deleted my user settings and then re-installed and now all is well and working.
Thanks for the help, appreciate the time you gave!
Wish it could have been resolved.
That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

If you had to remove everything and start over, then that is a solution.
These can't get your data back but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backups of files that you choose.
