I tried uninstalling firefox but it just hung. I restored it to before the windows update but still got the same message

Try downloading and reinstalling Firefox on top of itself. I know the correct way is to uninstall a program then reinstall it. But since you can't uninstall it perhaps reinstalling it will fix the issue. What it looks like is that file xul.dll got damaged and can't load Firefox properly. Reinstalling Firefox should update that file to a undamaged condition.

Download it from here: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US
