How can I stop and start Azure Firewall?
You can use Azure PowerShell deallocate and allocate methods,but the firewall rule isn't exist !!!
Please giva me a hand!

For example:

Azure PowerShell

Stop an existing firewall

$azfw = Get-AzFirewall -Name "FW Name" -ResourceGroupName "RG Name"
$azfw.Deallocate()
Set-AzFirewall -AzureFirewall $azfw
Azure PowerShell

Start a firewall

$azfw = Get-AzFirewall -Name "FW Name" -ResourceGroupName "RG Name"
$vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName "RG Name" -Name "VNet Name"
$publicip1 = Get-AzPublicIpAddress -Name "Public IP1 Name" -ResourceGroupName "RG Name"
$publicip2 = Get-AzPublicIpAddress -Name "Public IP2 Name" -ResourceGroupName "RG Name"
$azfw.Allocate($vnet,@($publicip1,$publicip2))

Set-AzFirewall -AzureFirewall $azfw
When you allocate and deallocate, firewall billing stops and starts accordingly.

    Check, if the following changes helps

    Deallocate:
    $azfw = Get-AzureRmFirewall -Name "FW Name” -ResourceGroupName "RG Name"
    $azfw.Deallocate()
    Set-AzureRmFirewall -AzureFirewall $azfw

    Allocate:
    $vnet= Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName " RG Name " -Name "VNET Name"
    $publicip= Get-AzureRmPublicIpAddress -Name "Public IP Name" -ResourceGroupName " RG Name"
    $azfw.Allocate($vnet,$publicip)
    Set-AzureRmFirewall -AzureFirewall $azfw
