Can you help fix my Firefox? The screen is black.

When I try to open up Firefox, it just opens up to a solid black screen. I have tried uninstalling it and then installing again. Resetting. So far nothing works. Google chrome and internet explorer are fine but Firefox has gone bad. Can you help please?
