Firefox will not open . Firefox shows in taskbar but will not open. Have tried to delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox but will not delete because open
Firefox will not open. It shows in the taskbar as being open but it refuses to open up from there. So I am trying to start with a freshly installed Firefox. I downloaded that with no problem. Then I tried to deleting the old by deleting C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox but the file will not completely delete because it says it is still open. I right click on the Firefox indication area in the taskbar and click on close. But it will not close. So I'm stuck between open and close and delete and nothing will work. I did succeed in deleting 73% of the files but no more than that because it tells me it's still open. Please tell me what other tricks are there?

Firefox will not open.
Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
- Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
