Firefox can't start and slows down the whole computer
I have not open firefox in a very long time. The last time i used firefox, it was not properly been closed (many tabs were not been closed and my laptop was been left a while). Since then, every time i open up firefox, it says "well this is embarassing" and whether i want to recover my search or not. But whenever it is opened, i can barely move the arrow to click on anything. i was intended to refresh it, but it starts to slow down the whole system. i can't even close the window nor refresh it. even if i manage to close the window, my computer is still slow. i can't even move the arrow. so how to reset my firefox without even open it?

i can't even move my computer arrow whenever i start open up firefox.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
If you can't get Firefox to open, you will have to do this the hard way.
