Attempting to start Firefox or the Profile Manager bears no positive results.
Upon attempting to start firefox.exe, the process appears in the task manager for about a second, and then closes. A reboot has been attempted, but to no avail. A relevant support article has been consulted prior to the making of this post. This has happened after successful updates from Firefox and Windows, and numerous forced shut-downs following shortly after due to power outages. Would gladly post pertinent diagnostic files such as .evtx files captured not long after the problem started occuring, along with a .wer error file relevant to the app crash.
I may be missing some details, but they will come to me later. Thank you for your time.
Edit: I have uploaded the error logs here. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iOJR1WcwS7JWmpWBnnQwMGCJ3yd4khfQ
No one should have to use Google Chrome, we're almost in 2019, folks.

I was hoping that it wouldn't come to that, but a clean reinstall did the trick. Thank you, Fred.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
When a computer loses power without shutting down, files can be corrupted. It's best to re-install any program giving you problems.
