    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...

  • Control Panel opens to the taskbar, but does not open

    Whenever I try to open Control Panel, it opens on the taskbar, but when I click it, it does nothing. I tried to restore by clicking and clicked right, to optimize and minimize, but nothing works.  It does this for all programs of the control panel.  I can't display preferences or options of the control panel.  Someone please help.

    3 may not be available at the same time.   While we were inactive?   Who will tell you what State was the window.    In addition, if expand wasn't available, but has not shown a window, then became unavailable which suggests that the window was projected on another monitor.   In this case, you will need to press Shift-Win-CursorRight back.

  • Is it possible to add a HIGHLIGHT / COLOR for a browser window open on the taskbar?

    Hello. We use Outlook Web APP.
    At the same time, we have several windows open on the taskbar.
    Is it possible to be able to highlight or maybe 'color' expressly only this browser window is no longer visible among all the other open windows?

    Thank you.

    I don't think that it is possible to set a background color the buttons of the label on the Windows taskbar-specific because this bar is under the control of the Windows operating system.

    What is displayed above is to set a specific color to tabs in a Firefox window.

  • Open windows will not restore when clicked in the taskbar

    I have been using Windows 8 on the same computer for over a year. Recently, I started having a problem where, when I have several windows open and they will all be displayed in my taskbar, I can't not often move a window open to the other by simply clicking on the button of the desired window in the taskbar. That didn't used to be a problem, and I don't know when or why it is native. What this means to me, is that, to pull up another window open on my screen, I have to either (1) click on the button in the toolbar of the window you want several times before it will finally come, or, if this does not work, (2) reduce the window of the program, I currently have pulled up on my desktop , which will then allow me to click on the button on the other program in the toolbar pull up.

    To make sure that I'm explaining this properly, let me give you an example:

    If I have an Internet browser, Microsoft Word, a program of messaging and Adobe Reader all open them on my computer and I'm displaying a document in Microsoft Word, but want to spend it watching Adobe Reader, I'll try by clicking on the Adobe button in the taskbar. What happens in general now, is that the Adobe button lights up a bit in response to my having clicked on it, but the program is not pull upwards on the screen. If I click twice more, sometimes the program opens, but sometimes not. At that moment to open it I have to minimize Microsoft Word, and if Adobe Reader is not what is now on my screen, I can then go ahead and click on the button in the task bar and it will pull up.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hi Shawn, I'm sorry to take a little time to return to you on this. Interestingly, somehow in the last days that problem has resolved itself without making me any change. I know that's not too helpful with regard to the identification of what was the cause of the problem in the first place, but I'm glad it's resolved. I went ahead and went through the steps you described above for simply speed/clean my computer a little. Thank you for taking the time to help! Thank you!

    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

  • The program display open in the taskbar

    I use Vista to the Windows Welcome page.  At first the buttons in window open program were justified left, similar to other versions of Windows. Then one day, they were smaller and good reason, isn't a problem, except that even if the task bar is almost empty, only 2 will show at a time.  If I have more than 2 programs open at the same time I must then scroll down to find and switch to the third program.  I do not remember anything, but if there is a way to show more than 2 programs at the same time, I like to restore.
    Thank you

  • Windows7 windows show open on the taskbar, but seem to be out of the screen-how can I get the focus?

    New Windows 7 and Firefox - icon in the taskbar, but will not display the window on the screen. When I put the cursor on the icon the little windows show which is open. It seems that the windows display is somewhere off the coast on the right side of the screen. Don't have a clue as to how it happened. How can I get the windows on the desktop where I can see? Thanks for all the tips that will help you.

    In Windows 7, pressing/holding the windows key and right arrow key FINALLY made the window reappear to me! Deleting the localstore.rdf did NOT work for me, unfortunately.

  • Windows mail message appear open in the taskbar only.

    I right click on the message and select "move". Cursor changes but the arrow keys do not work and can not move the message in fullscreen.

    Don't know why, but I think I have. When I click on the header of message in the Inbox full screem it just appeared in the taskbar (the header of the message). No new screen. I do not use the preview pane, but had tried and no change. If I clicked on the message in the taskbar, or used a right clisk then 'open' or 'maximize it open in its own window. Next message dates back to the taskbar. While typing this reply, I had minimized Inbox with a message header always in the taskbar. When I clicked on the message, I could see him now off the screen and followed your instructions, which worked. I couldn't do it with the screen of the Inbox under the eyes. Amazing! Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Problems with latest updates Windows (KB) do not install & repeated notifications via the taskbar icon

    Hello everyone,

    In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.

    Description of the problem:

    Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed.  I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history.  He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates.  The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night.  After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '

    To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.

    Corrective measures attempted:

    1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).

    2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message.  (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).

    3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB).  Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.

    4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked).  No updates KB mentioned above could be found.

    5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues.  (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).

    This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before.  On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.

    (Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.)  I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates.  They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.

    My questions to the community:

    1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?

    2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?

    System Specs:

    Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower;  WIN XP Pro SP3.  2 GB OF RAM;  3.00 gHz CPU;  Outpost Security Suite Pro.  MBAM Pro (on request only).  SAS (on request only);  SpywareBlaster;  IE8 & FF

    Thank you for your time and help, review!

    The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

    Please quote the exact text of the error message. Do not paraphrase. Where are the documents? Please give the full path; that is C:\Users\your-username\Documents.
