Firefox will not open from my desk top anymore. I can't change my profile if I can't get to it!

Yesterday (1/19/13) morning, my Firefox opened fine and it was business as usual. Yesterday afternoon, I clicked on my desktop icon, the little circle spun for about 2 seconds then stopped. Firefox would not open. This morning, the same thing happened. I removed Firefox from my computer, re-downloaded it, and it worked...until now (about 1 hour later). The same thing is happening again. Firefox does not show up on my task-manager.

Me too!! Please let me know if you figure out a way to fix this. I ran the Safety scan and it still will not load. If anyone knows how to go back to the previous version please let me know. Thanks.
