Upgraded Firefox due to today's security announcement.
Closed Firefox and restarted but after about 20 seconds, Firefox stopped trying to start. No error messages displayed.
Firefox would not start in safe mode. Reluctant to try Firefox with complete reset as might loose passwords and other settings made in about:config
Have downgraded Firefox
Removed: firefox.i386 0:31.5.3-1.el5.centos firefox.x86_64 0:31.5.3-1.el5.centos
Installed: firefox.i386 0:31.5.0-1.el5.centos firefox.x86_64 0:31.5.0-1.el5.centos
Have looked in /var/logs but can not see anything relevant.
How can I identify the cause of the problem ?
Thanks,

mv ~/.mozilla mozilla-old firefox
See what happens.
It now works, Thank You.
(1) renamed the directory. (2) yum upgrade firefox = 31.5.3 (3) started Firefox and got a horrible nightmare - ugly tabs, no menu bar and all my familiar settings gone. It was a real devastating and emotional shock. It prompted me to do a backup ! (4) closed Firefox (5) renamed the new directory *-crap (6) restored the previous directory (7) restarted Firefox and everything was familiar and wonderful again.
Thanks for your very effective solution.
