Does disabling extensions has any effect?
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Did you try Safe Mode?
- Safe Mode is a special diagnostic mode of Firefox used for troubleshooting. There are two ways to get into it.
- Hold SHIFT while double clicking the Firefox icon on the desktop
- Execute firefox.exe -safe-mode via the Run command (start > run)
Firefox will start in Safe Mode for 2nd user, but still will not open with just a double-click or through RUN.
Do you mean Firefox Safe Mode?
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
YES. We are talking about starting it in "Firefox Safe Mode". 2nd user account can open it in "Firefox Safe Mode", but double-clicking and starting from RUN does not work.

Thanks so much cor-el for all the help. I do fine with hardware and driver issues, but always get lost in the many different software configurations. THANKS
