Firefox does not appear (it will be 'open', although it seems that it is open in the taskbar)

I don't know if it's a coincidence that he himself has updated to 37.0, but it must be...

When I click the task bar on Firefox and on the desktop icon, it opens on the taskbar, when I select the taskbar it shows even Firefox loaded Google (my default Web page)... But it never occurred to the screen.

I have:
-Windows 8.0 (No 8.1 and I'm not on the upgrade because it works better than 8.1)
-Noscript add-on/plugin, or more
-the drivers up to date

I tried:
-Uninstall and reinstall the version the most recent (37.0)
-Uninstall 37.0 and installation of Firefox Web site archive 36.0
-Restart my computer after install
-Disabling service maintenance on installation

I "allow" - ed the windows popup install twice and it does not help.
The first time, it tries to open, she went to the yellow background on the taskbar to open programs, you have not yet used.
However, when I click on it nothing comes on the screen. When I select always watch here my homepage. I can't do the thing in firefox update because I can't even display. I don't get the error messages on my computer, which is weirder. I updated and ran windows defender full scan and found nothing (but it is not surprising to "defender", lol).

Once he opens the first time, even open another page opens nothing. Then it crashes and does close, even if you right click and you try to close all the windows... I have to use the Task Manager to close at the end of task...

I don't know how to open the 'xpi' convenience store thing, sorry...

And no whining, but why is - it so suddenly broken XD... And more important still, how in the world I can't come back to work? I use this terrible chrome I got lucky to have right on my computer already, which I only got to see one thing a long time ago and I forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate to use chrome, it is actually works perfectly for me now... Thank you for any help will be much appreciated...

The Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

#1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

#2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

Thank you! Your thing 'out of scope' brought me exactly what I need! I realized it was broken because of my second monitor/TV... It wasn't "on" the TV, but because he was off it broke somehow... So, once I've restarted BOTH on, she came back to my main screen/monitor (no tv). I don't know why he did it, but he must have crashed on my main screen because the TV was turned off... Strange...

  • Firefox does not appear on the start menu until I type the whole word in the search box of start.

    Original title:

    Search ranking

    I like to use research to launch programs - press the windows key, type "ste" press on enter and steam launches, for example.  However, for firefox, I have to type the whole word.  Is there a way to define the search so that when I type "fire" or even "tree" firefox is the first element of the research?

    Also of note – is Firefox used to come as the first item of research when I typed "fire", but now it is not even detected until I type the word in full. What could have changed to do this, and how I can solve this problem (for as far as I know that I didn't change the search options or other parameters that could lead to this).

  • BONES of Firefox does not appear correctly. It seems that the CSS and JS are not rendered. Any help would be most appreciated!

    I would have preferred someone show a screenshot of the web pages, but it is not a file attach on this forum. In any case, with only Firefox OS, not my other browsers, web pages didn't properly. For example on Facebook, there is no header or footer. JS is enabled in the browser, and like I said Chrome and Safari are NOT having problems. I'm surmising that the CSS and JS files are somehow not displayed. I can be very wrong, but I would accept with gratitude any help anyone has to offer. Thank you and have a great day!

    Hi Lufte,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with the rendering of some pages on your Firefox OS device.

    Hi Carrie,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    Normally, this problem occurs when the process explorer.exe is corrupted and need to restart. We will try to recycle Explorer.exe by following these steps here and check the results.

    a. to recycle Explorer.exe by opening Task Manager (you can use Ctrl + Shift + Esc), on the process tab, select Windows explorer.exe in the list and choosing end process.

    b. now, go to the file menu, choose new task and type explorer.exe in the Open box. Press enter and explore should restart itself.

    c. try to hide the taskbar and check.

    If the problem persists, you can run Analysis System File Checker and verify the results.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  • Firefox does not display jpg files from a web page so that other browsers

    I created a page and downloaded www.nutechequipments.com/equipment.html page does not display jpg files in firefox only everywhere, including in Dubai. But all other browsers display images jpg uploaded in a perfect way. In Firefox that the table is loaded with spaces reserved. It is not a problem with my computer. It is the problem all over the world.

    the html code example is given below:

    You have the backslashes (------: fumble that 5% C, as seen in tools > Page Info > media) in the scr attribute of images and which does not work in Firefox.
    You must change the backslashes into slashes in order to

  • Since the upgrade to 3.6.13 on my Mac, Firefox does not restart tabs. I replaced th e ' |. ' "%7 C" as suggested in the article of technical support, but it continues to happen. Is this the same fix for Mac or is there a different difficulty?

    I have set preferences to "show my windows and tabs from last time '. I used the button "use current Pages". I changed the used the ' | ' and I changed the ' | ' to 7% C I read in one of the bandages. If Firefox is stopped and restarted, the Mac is still in place or after I turned off the Mac and then restart it, the problem persists. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 on Mac.

    If you use Remove navigation, search and download history on Firefox in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the browsing history when you close Firefox then restore the tabs from last session ("Save and exit" or "show my windows and tabs from last time ') does not work.

    Recently, I accidentally begain download some unwanted addons - but I cancelled the download before being finished and quickly removed the programs by uninstalling program files issues. Firefox worked pretty well at the time, but later he started to become less sensitive. I did some cleaning (clear the cache, etc.) and done a virus scan. Has not made a difference.
    Eventually he started to get like some that I open a firefox browser - becomes inadmissible. The first two times, disconnection and reconnection to my connection int fixed. But now is not working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it is inadmissible. I should have the version 6.0.2
    Finally, there is no way I can run firefox in SafeMode because as soon as I open the browser it is inadmissible, which means that I can not even access toolbars.

    • Click the Firefox button, and then click exit
    • NOW press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open the--> Task Manager process tab-> click right firefox.exe and click end process tree -> close the Task Manager

    -> Start Firefox in Mode safe by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox
