However;
If I wait till modem has connected to ISP
then call on firefox.exe
Firefox Browser works fine
Another Example:

If after connecting to ISP and I call on thunderbird
then call on firefox.exe
Firefox Browser does not execute

Oddly enough Robert, since Firefox is my browser of chose.
I brought up an application called Ad Aware when I allowed
the application to upgrade itself it executed Firefox and the
application was able to take me to it's home page.

Now Firefox won't work under the conditions I mentioned; but
an application can call on it and work just fine.

It sounds as though something in your default profile got fouled up (just a guess.) To test that guess, quit firefox completely (i.e. File > Exit), create a new profile using the profile manager, and then start firefox with that new profile. For instructions on how to do so:

You can have more than one profile, so it is not necessary to delete your old profile before creating a new one.

Try that out and let us know how things go.
