Go to Mozilla.org and download the full installer

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode While you are in safe mode; Firefox Options > Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

I did download and reinstall Firefox to try to fix this; didn't work.

And I'm unable to open Firefox to change it to Safe Mode BECAUSE MY PROBLEM IS THAT FIREFOX WON'T OPEN.

Anyway, I'm having a blast figuring out how to use Chrome and trying to remember all my bookmarks. Awesome.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.json and addons.sqlite file.

You can also try to delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

Try this; Start your Windows computer in safe mode. Then try the above again.
