• Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

  When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

  Machine features:
  8.1 to win
  16 GB of RAM
  3 video concerts
  Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
  64 bit

  Sometimes, a window is "off the 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.

  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 the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) 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.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  When I opened (with a button or a bookmark), or if I type in google email URL, google calendar opens on top she almost immediately. This does not happen in other browsers or earlier versions, it is new since installing firefox 3.6.6. I tried to uninstall Add-ons and plug-ins "one" to see if that was the problem, but can see no change in behavior.

• Can someone tell me why, when I click on the icon of Group of tabs in Firefox for Windows 8, it will not open my screen group?

  I use Firefox for Windows XP Pro service Pack 3 8. I've been using tab groups for some time, but this morning I can't screen the Group tab at all. No error message or another indication of the problem. I leave Firefox and tried to not restart, no help. I rebooted my system and restarted Firefox, no help. I reinstalled Firefox 8, no help. I tried to install Firefox 9.01, no help. Returned to 8, no help. At that point, I stopped to report this issue.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

• Firefox does not. Have done all troubleshooting but still does not. It will not open again now. Help please.

  After all the troubleshooting suggestions and also uninstall and reinstall Firefox, it won't always work. First it fades and a "does not" review appeared on the letterhead, with the pointer regarding the timer but nothing did. He was recently working fine for ages and I have not added anything, or deleted, so does not understand why he should stop suddenly work.
  I followed all the troubleshooting tips and disabled the plug ins, also removed a lot of the add - ons, did not always work. Then I uninstalled and re-installed.
  Now, it will still not open. A window pops up saying: he's fallen down and giving me the opportunity to re - start or leave. If I click on start, it only re - start.
  I even started it in SafeMode but which will not open either, it opens for about a minute then just closes.
  Please help, I really want to use any other search engine.

• Firefox 4 will not open thunderbird for mailto and send links

  I use Windows 7 Enterprise.
  Since the FF4 update will not open Thunderbird when a mailto link or send the link is clicked. My system has Thunderbird selected as the default e-mail client, and these links work in other browsers.

  Following some help online suggestions on selection of Firefox's default mail client:

  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/changing%20The%20E-mail%20Program%20used%20by%20firefox?s=mailto & As = s

  There is no option for 'mailto' or 'mail' in the content type window.

  I suffered with this for weeks and finally worked around her.
  Thunderbird has been defined as a client by default, but it does not work with some other customers as well, so I went to Default Programs / set program by default, Thunderbird selected, which was already defined as e-mail client by default, selected "Choose defaults for this program" and click Save. That fixed it for PDF Complete, but not for FF4.

  In FF4, I changed the mailto option always Ask (it was Thunderbird (default)), then selected Thunderbird as client after picking send the link. It worked, so next time I checked the box in the dialog box always use Thunderbird and now it works. Grrr.
