Tried refresh, change profile, reinstall, delete profile, delete all Firefox folders in C drive, open in Firefox safe mode (won't open) - I have tried every trick on the official 'Firefox won't open' advice page - no luck. Yet it will open using Win 10 safe mode... ... please help if you can.

. . . . except in Windows 10 safe mode . . .

When a computer is started in Safe Mode, only system programs are running. As a test, disable your protection programs.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work for me.

My fix - run FF in Win 8 compatibility mode. Only thing that worked. Imperfect but a workaround nonetheless.

I called for more help.
