When I go to open firefox it appears on my toolbar, but not on my screen where is it?
It feels like it is opening in another screen in a dual monitor situation... but I'm only only my laptop with a screen.
It is possible that the window is "off screen".
If activate you the tile of Firefox in the taskbar, press this key combination, allow to optimize in view?
ALT + SPACEBAR > x
(To clarify, it's Alt + space to open the window control menu, then the letter x to maximize the window.)
If it works, try this:
(1) copy the following line of code to the Clipboard:
newwin=window.open(window.location.href);newwin.moveTo(0,0);
(2) in the maximized window, press Ctrl + Shift + k to open the web console.
(3) press Ctrl + v to paste the line of code next to the circumflex accent (>), and then press ENTER to run it. A new copy of this page should open in a window that is placed at the top left of the screen.
(4) return to the magnified window and close it first, before doing anything in the new window.
If you can not optimize Firefox, you can rename or delete the settings file that stores the last position of the window.
(1) open the folder of the currently active Firefox (AKA Firefox profile folder) parameters.
On the start menu, paste this into the search box and press ENTER:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
You can only have one folder, but if you have several folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder.
(2) switch back to Firefox and get out completely.
(3) wait a few moments for Firefox complete update of the files in your profile folder, then rename localstore.rdf to something else, like localstore - bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternatively, you can delete the file.
(4) you are finished with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
A little luck?

When I open firefox amazon appears in the search bar that I can't remove
whenever I open firefox amazon appears in the search window and I can't remove it.
Why this happened I don't know, but this means ICAN can't use firefiox as my search engineNote that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

Receive an error about a missing file message when I try to open Firefox
When I tried to open Firefox today I received a message about a missing (Wrusr.ddl) file and that Firefox was not able to open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it did not work. I have no idea what this file is or where it went. I used Firefox 2 days ago and it was working fine. The only thing that changed between then and now was that I renewed my antivirus software but I certainly did not remove all the files and I made sure that Firefox is permitted to access the internet. I use this same software (Webroot) with Firefox for years and never had any problems until today. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've included a screenshot of the error message below.
Webroot seems to provide a tool for such an occasion: http://www.webroot.com/prodCheck/?pc=64150 & origrc = 1 & co = 221 & Midwest = 7 & rel = 6 & bld = 38 & lang = to & loc = AUS & kc = ppc % 60lkik % 5th % 5Eafhgpewgfa opi = 2 & Moy = 6 & omn = 1 & osl = in

What have you tried so far?
Can you try reinstalling Firefox? Uninstall it from your control panel > programs and features/add / remove programs (if you want to keep your bookmarks and other information, not deletion of personal information). After uninstallation, delete the Mozilla Firefox folder to remove the remnants of files damaged uninstallation (your profile is in a different location, so will not be affected by the present):
- (installation of 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- (installation of 64-bit) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
Download and reinstall the latest version:

I get this message when you try to open Mozilla: the procedure entry point sqlite3_db_status could not be located in the dynamic link library mozsqlite3.dll.
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current version of Firefox.
- Do not remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

Hi there, when I drop my photo in photoshop it disappears, it shows in the layers that it is there, but not in my screen?
Hello
May I know if you use mac or a window.
If you are using windows, please check the color profile assigned to the monitor, it could be because of the corrupt color profile.
- Right-click anywhere on the desktop, and then choose the screen resolution
- In the resolution of the screen the dialog box click the parameters in advance
- The graphics card settings box will be the opening upwards
- Go in the color management tab and click on color management
- Click Add at the bottom, if this button is not highlighted check the option 'use my settings for this device'
- In the next screen, provide you a list of the color profile. Scroll down and choose "sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1"
- Click ok in each window.
Restart Photoshop, and then try again.
Thank you

I want to have a form of lead pop up when a user clicks on an ad on Facebook, Google, etc, but not when a user organically finds my site. I have to create a whole new separate landing page?
"Great sites" with additional technologies can easily intercept incoming requests to a certain page, with all sorts of additional information in the URL (from the related announcement, like this: http://typekit.com/fonts?locale=nl-NL&ref=globalnav&promoid=KRUVR ) and whisk a popup, refer to a different page or activate another script or process of deciding what must happen. But Muse creates a 'static' website with the URL of the page simple, without special scripts or ruffles or processes to decode an additional URL to a query.
Creating a page of special destination somewhere elsewhere in the Web site to refer to, may be the simplest solution.
