A few hours ago, when I woke the computer from overnight sleep, Firefox (fully updated) was suddenly completely unresponsive.
It is not an Internet issue. As you see, Edge works fine. I'm online, but Firefox isn't.
I tried reinstalling, which appeared to work. With the new install, I was only able to open the app with the administrator option, which didn't bother me. All my bookmarks were in place and settings and extensions showed as I've had them for years. Unfortunately, all I can do with newly installed Firefox is look at it. I can enter an address manually, but no response other than showing my typing. No bookmarks will open. Browser Menu items appear to open, but mostly do not follow to their content pages.
I did get to the Mozilla troubleshooting page from the menu, and tried a refresh, which of course eliminated my security extensions and bookmarks, but had no other impact on the program. It still looks like Firefox, but is an empty shell. (See troubleshooting information pasted in place below.)
I've never seen anything like this before with any app. It has been days since my last windows update, BTW. There were no problems with it. Everything else is OK with this computer. Firefox just turned into an empty shell, but everything else is normal.
I've been using the Mozilla browser since Netscape. I strongly prefer Firefox to any other browser. I can live without it, I guess, but I won't be very happy.
Has anyone else encountered this dead Firefox situation? If so, what fixed it?
