All "functionality" of Firefox is gone from my desktop - all icons & program files remain. I no longer have a browser. What to do?
I use my desktop daily. My Firefox does not load at all - no matter how I try to start it up. I also have all my program files and tried to reload it using my Firefox.exe file. That stays dormant also. What could have happened and how can I now re-download this program without a browser? I really depend on this computer.

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox folders by adding .old to them.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.

Try to start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift (Mac: Options) key to see if that helps.
It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
