I closed the program and tried a fourth time to verify the successful attempt and it was able to start in safe mode. The program was also able to successfully open in regular mode as well following this. I'm hoping this was all that was needed.

When Firefox finishes downloading an update, it launches the updater application in the background without displaying any UI, and applies the update in a new directory that is completely separate from the existing installation directory. Instead of staging the update itself, an entire updated version of Firefox is staged. The next time that Firefox starts up, the existing installation is swapped with the new updated installation which is ready to be used.
Now, the reason that this approach fixes the problem is that swapping the directories, unlike the actual process of applying the update, is really fast. We are effectively moving the cost of applying the update to right after the update has been downloaded while the browser is running. This leaves only the really fast copy operation to be performed the next time that the browser starts up.
