after I installed the update this morning it will not start or i have to start off the taskbar. the reset does NOT WORK. I also did a clean install after deleting it from the reg and so forth as well. same problem and if i am running a different web browser it will not start even. It used to run that way with no problem before the update. I could have a different web browser on watching the us senate and it will still start. now forget it, it keeps crashing or non start.

Could this be relevant? A couple of other users identified Webroot (security software) as blocking 64-bit Firefox 97 -- released today -- from running properly: If you are still running an earlier release of Firefox, this would not be your issue.
