Firefox wont open

My firefox browser wont open following a update.


When I click on the app a message says close firefox which I click but it returns again.


I have done a system restore but the same happens


I have tried to remove firefox and reinstall the desktop symbol goes but the progress bar only travels about three quarters along.


How can I correct this?

    Unless you particularly want to have Firefox you could try installing Chrome or another browser.

    What are you using now to access MSE?
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    I have lost the functionality of history and bookmarks on mine after an update but at least I can still access it.

    I have in the past had to uninstall it and reinstall.
