Firefox won't start
Power went off yesterday for 30 seconds. Firefox no longer works in safe mode or any other mode. Spent last 3 hours trying every solution I could find to no avail.
Practically every solution offered by Mozilla tells you how to use the software itself to reset it. FIREFOX WON'T START !!! I can't click ABOUT:anything to see what is going on. I can't start safe mode - NOTHING.
Thousands of posts going back 7 years - SEVEN YEARS - show Mozilla has utterly failed to address this issue or even offer a solution when it happens.
At this point I am just trying to get back several hundred bookmarks stored there. How do I do that?

Go to your local department/electronics store and look around for a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that is useful for you. The lowest price is $50 +. There are also units on the market that plug into the computer. So if the battery gets low, it will shut down the computer to protect it.
