Firefox worked previously, now will not open at all. When I attempt to uninstall, it says it can't because the program is open. I cannot install new program due to same problem.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

No change on my part

User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; BO1IE8_v1;ENUS)
