I have two monitors and Firefox will not come on the screen.
When I try to open Firefox it will not load on each screen. Looks like he's trying to go to the secondary screen, but is not visible. The OS is Windows 7 Home first Service Pack 1. Firefox version 37.0.1
Thanks for your help.

You get a sticker or other indication on the Windows task bar that there is a window of Firefox "somewhere", but it is not visible anywhere?
If there is a tile (or a title of the window above the Firefox button in the task bar):
The Firefox window sometimes opens off screen. If you have a multiple monitor configuration, make sure that both monitors are on. Other users have reported that sometimes Firefox acts strangely while the second monitor is turned off. You mentioned that both monitors are on in your case.
In all other cases: you can often force the Firefox window is displayed on the screen by double 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?

I use Firefox as default browser v10.0.2 on Dell XPS8300 Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 IO IO Intel Core i3 and Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (approximately 90% of attempts) that Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display on the screen when I click the icon. Cannot display other programs when it happens. I expressly say display because I believe that Firefox has started. To work around the problem, I installed Process Explorer on both machines and launch this program first, then click on the Firefox icon. When the problem occurs I see process Firefox.exe in the list of processes; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on the Firefox icon, yet another process opens in the list of processes, but with the same answer - some consumed CPU and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the process from the 1st, the 2nd poster and then everything is normal. If I do not open it treat a 2nd, but kill the 1st process then click the Firefox Firefox is displayed and all then is normal. This problem has occurred since the original on the two new machines installation. I have updated the video drivers on both computers.
OK, let's see if we can solve this problem and make it work for you!
First of all, if you start Firefox in safe mode (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key) it starts more reliable? This is usually caused by a defective module. If this does not help, then restart Firefox, go to the Firefox, then add-ons button and disable your extensions one by one until you find the troublemaker.
Also, try to update to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.
Just as a few troubleshooting steps base to ensure that we have all the bases covered,
Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.
Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.

When I downloaded Firefox and checked my extensions, I've been informed that Firefox is not compatible with the prevention of malware from my Webroot security package. I use it successfully with Windows and just renewed for another year. What do you do to protect myself? I'm not a computer expert, so if you can answer in plain language that would be appreciated. In addition, we stream video much and I noticed that DivX is also not compatible. What should I do about it? Thank you.
Firefox has had its own fake Web / since 2008 malware protection.
http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/phishing-protection/Firefox Add-ons developers are responsible for these add-ons up to date as new versions of Firefox are available. Check with Webroot & DivX on updates for their Firefox extensions.
That said, the modules that are hosted on the official website of the AddonsMozilla.Org are tested and 'hit' by compatibility automatically, if these modules are considered to be compatible with a new version of Firefox that is about to be released. For modules that are not "compatible", the developer of the add-on Gets an email telling them basically what needs to be fixed. AMO extensions hosted are automatically updated as required by Firefox. The 'check' available updates each time is that Firefox is open.
For modules that are not hosted on AMO, there is a 'updateURL' function that allows to have Firefox check for an update across the internet, the a particular extension developer said. Unfortunately, too many developers take advantage of this feature and needlessly let their users to search an update themselves. who then need to manually install the hotfix or update version.
It's like a bunch of clowns of circus without master ring to 'bring in the clowns' at the right time in the show.

Satellite L500 will not load beyond the screen "Welcome".
Hello
My Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop will not load beyond the screen "Welcome". The right slider thing keeps going around and around, but won't on my desk.
Last night, he went into a temporary profile and he got a message saying "another profile cannot load at this time please try again later".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
KaraThe error message is not known to me and also looking in google didn t get advice.
Maybe your Windows operating system is confusing upward.Have you tried to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
Try this. Restart your laptop, press the F8 key.
In advanced startup options, select the option called Mode without failure.If the laptop does not start Safe Mode, try the last good known Configuration option.
If this n t help, try to fix my computer. Here, you can choose between different settings.
Who could solve that problem is HARD drive recovery that helps you define the notebook to factory settings. But it also means that your disk should be formatted!So be aware of this!

Method 3
If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

I recently used a dvd + rw disk to back up my photos. Now when I put a dvd in my pc, why it will not display on the screen that's all there is, or how to give me access to it?
Depends on what you used for the backup.
If you used the windows backup or another backup software will contain the entire disk will be a backup file, and view/use this file, you use the same software that allows you to save.
