Why can't I see firefox on my screen

Whenever I open firefox, it opens in a small tab to the right of my screen. I know its open because when I alt Tab, I see it on a more small scale of my tab open in internet explore.

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?

Note: I guess that still exists in Windows 10 but have not tested.

A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

#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 start search bar menu 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?

Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • Why can I not see events in albums IOS devices

    I organized my albums by events, but when I go to albums on any IOS device there is no option to view the events, only all of the photos at once.  Why can I not see my separate and unique events in my albums on IOS devices?

    You are right, for the album, we changed grid and railroad tracks to the grid and view (on the iOS app).

    How do you organize your photos usually? How do you use the events? Ideally, how would you organize your photos?

  • Why can I not see the Middle East feature on my verion on Indesign CS6?

    Why can I not see the Middle East feature on my verion on Indesign CS6?

    To see what features of the Middle East, you need to uninstall your current language, and then install the Middle Eastern English version.

    To do this:

    1. On Windows, uninstall from the Control Panel. On Mac OS X, use the Uninstall Adobe InDesign CS6 link under Applications > utilities > Adobe Installers.
    2. Launch the Adobe Application Manager and click on your name on the left, and on the shortcut menu, choose Preferences.
    3. Change the field of the English- language Middle Eastern.
    4. Reinstall InDesign.

  • Why can I not see my paths when the line is white?

    (NB. This could be a bug of Win8 beta)

    In Adobe Illustrator, I have several paths. When I put their race in almost any color I can see them. For example here, they are black:

    AI_black.jpg

    (Note that I have my plans of work hidden using the 'View' button-> menu 'Hide work plans', and I document established simulating (green) colored paper.)

    But if I change the white line, I do not see the paths:

    AI_white.jpg

    They are still there, you can see the anchor point etc. when the paths are selected:

    AI_selected.jpg

    But they are not visible. What is going on? Is this a bug (I use a beta version of the operating system) or am I missing some setting that I do with the visible white lines? They are really white, export in PNG seems fine, why can't I see them in Illustrator?

    I'll tell you that it's a bug then.

    Using color paper simulate the document updated in place, a way of drawing, by setting white outline, making sure that overprint Stroke is NOT checked in the attribute Panel... should show the race. If not, it must be a bug somewhere.

    Maybe in Illustrator...

    Try this... Choose View > show transparency grid. I bet that the trait to appear as if by magic.
