Firefox does not open

Hi,

I am running mac os catalina (latest), and up until today was using Firefox 72.2. For some reason it stopped working, when I click on the app to open it no window opens and the app immediately closes. I deleted the app, and installed version 73 after restarting the mac. Still had the same issue. I repeated the process of uninstall/install back, this time I even deleted all corresponding files in the Library (cache, app support etc). To note please that no error message appears and no crash report created. I repeated this process several times and still no result. Any suggestions? Thanks

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Unfortunately I cannot start firefox in safe mode since Firefox doesn't start at all. The application quits immediately after I try to open it.

And the Computer Safe Mode?
