I did a bios update on my laptop as the manufacturer wanted. Now firefox will not open. The web page opens but gets stuck at trying to connect. It just hangs there.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
