I tried reinstall , no joy!

Firefox has a repair utility at mozilla.com but it requires having FF running. Ketch 22!

I completely removed all traces of FF in the registry the ran CC to search remnants before reinstalling a brand new version from mozilla. Original problem persists. Clicking the launch button just creates another impotent icon in the taskbar. Firefox Support was baffled.

I've tried everything to no avail. Very frustrated.
