I have Windows 10. Yesterday had a problem with Windows Explorer (was using 75%+ CPU) but it's now fixed. Tried to open Mozilla now and it won't start. Although, it opens after 3-5 minutes. I can see the process in the Task Manager, I've tried running it on safe mode and open the Profile Manager but it won't open too. Also tried to reinstall but didn't work too.

That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Seems like the problem was my computer was infected. Used an anti-malware system and it got rid of the malwares. All working fine now.
