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

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?

I bought the IPad Pro 128 GB on 3.29.2016. I used it for less than a week. It charged when I first opened it from 67% to 100%. 9.3.1 update. After about 5-6 days, the battery is down to 1%, and now it will not load. I have reset to factory settings and it still doesn't load. There's just 1%. Help, please.

Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not. Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.
You may need to update your toolbar, google has made some changes just about everything and possibly that the page is not where it used to be.

I was in Lightroom and had a power surge and now Lightroom will not launch. He has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to fix the next time it starts. I closed my system and Lightroom will not always start. Does anyone have any suggestions?
You bet and Yes:
* do not delete entire .lrdata folder
* don't delete anything else
Best?
If so, you can rebuild strength previews (e.g. standard previews of entire catalog) using library-> menu previews.

Why Illustrator does not accept the 'F1' key as a shortcut? I deleted the default keyboard to "clipping mask/do" command and now I can't use the "F1" key All other command options are used for other shortcuts. Should I delete the Illustrator preferences and start again? If so, how do I?
What OS? If a Mac, go to System Preferences and check the box that says deal with F-keys regular keys (or something to that effect). This will trigger the F keys to be used in artificial intelligence.
