We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.

Hello cweeden, privacy options doesn't do that, check firewall and your security software, maybe block firefox access.


thank you
