Microsoft are very capable of 'nasty tricks' like that.
My system has been restored to a date before that Firefox update.
I have had a screen prompt to download it again and declined.

Do you think Firefox wouldn't notice if that was happening to millions of PC's around the world?
Not downloading Firefox security updates isn't a good idea. If it fails again you know how to restore it now. Create a system restore point now because you know it's working ok at the moment.
Maybe some of those conspiracy websites you visit contain malware/spyware and that is what screwed your machine up.
