Hi darshanSH,

Don't worry. Your Password and all other private information are very safe with Firefox.

Can You try to close the Firefox process through Task Manager and open Firefox again?

Are You getting any error message when trying to open?

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
