Can't get Firefox to come back up after minimizing?

When I minimize Firefox, it will not come back up by clicking or double clicking the icon on the bottom of my Mac. This is new, as it was working before, but I am unsure of how to reset that function. The only way I can bring it back up now is to click on the "new tab" drop down menu under file at the top left portion of the screen. I would very much appreciate some instruction on how to reset this function. Thank you.

Hi youngma71,
Firefox should not be able to prevent you from maximizing a minimized window. At least there is no obvious feature. What is interesting, this question was asked last week too. Is there a chance that you pressed Command+h to hide all the applications' windows. The shortcut to unhide all is Command+Tab to tab between applications. If you use the shortcuts does the window unminimize?

The other work around was that you can right click the minimized icon and select the window.

    Help my ipad went dark when installing the last update.  The battery may not have been fully charged but it was plugged in.  It has been 3 hours now and can't get it to come back.

  • How can i get my iphone 4 back up after it went dead. It had plenty of power, and it will not come up even after i hold down the home and power buttons for 30 seconds.

    My iphone 4 went dead even when there was plenty of batery life. I ran through the reboot for holding down the home button with the power button and it still did not come back up. Any thoughts?

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it again. If no respose, you most likely have a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • My iphone has switched off and i can't get it to come back on, battery is full, any ideas

    Try resetting the phone:  Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (~10 - 15 seconds)>

  • CAn you walk me through the process of getting back my "Favorites" bar? I accidentally deleted it and can't get it to come back up.

    Could you please give me some VERY detailed instructions to get this back. I am a technotard. I have not got a lot of computer know-how.
    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

    You can right click on a toolbar (e.g. empty space on Tab bar) to get a context menu that allow to set which toolbars to display.
    If the menu bar is visible then use:
    * View > Toolbars
    If the menu bar is hidden and you have the orange Firefox button then use:
    * Firefox > Options

  • How can i get firefox from defaulting back to a version i dont want

    firefox 25 freezes without moving the mouse continually. i keep downloading version 24. every time i turn off my computer, it reverts back to version 25 - even though i am not allowing it to update without my permission. can you either fix version 25 or tell me how to stop this from updating on its own

    hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
    if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
    <br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

  • After charging my nano I put it in my ihome system the screen locked up and now I can't get it to come back on or my computer to recognize it even after updating the software

    any suggestions on how I can fix this

    This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

  • I can't get Firefox to come up; when I download it again it says can't because Firefox in use.

    I used Firefox on Saturday and then closed it (I thought). When I clicked on it yesterday, it wouldn't come up, not even when I went on Applications and clicked on that icon So I tried downloading it again, but when I went to drag the icon into the applications folder, I got a message saying I couldn't because Firefox was in use.

    See: [[Firefox is already running but is not responding|Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • My Ipad has gone blank and I can't get anything to come back up on the screen?

    My IPad has gone blank.  I was checking my mail and it started flashing and then it froze then it went blank.  All I have is a screen saver picture.  I can use Suri but nothing else.  HELP????  I have turned it off and turned it back on still nothing.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Connect the iPad to a power source to charge the battery just in case.

  • Can't get Firefox to recognize backed-up profile on new computer.

    I've just installed a new copy of Windows and I want to transfer my old profile to this install of Firefox. I'm running Firefox 4 on my new computer and my old one. I copied the xxxxxx.user folder from my AppData/Local/Mozilla/Profiles folder onto my flash drive. I then ran the profile manager on my new computer and created a new profile. Finally, I copied the contents of my original xxxxxx.user folder into the new xxxxxx.user folder (I did not just copy the old profile folder into the Profile folder of the new Firefox install, just the data). When I loaded Firefox though, it looks just as if I had installed it fresh and hadn't done anything with it yet. I really would like to have my browsing history on this new PC. Thanks.

    '''''AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles'''''
    That is not your Profile folder, that is a secondary folder which contains the cache and fast load files and is related to the main Profile folder. You want the main one located here: <br />
    '''AppData/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/'''

  • HT1551 When use AirPlay to watch hbo go from my iPad on through my tv using Apple TV suddenly it stops and I get an error message that it needs to be played back using hdcp something or other.  Then I can't get it to come back on. Any ideas what is going

    When I use airplay to watch hbo go through Apple TV it starts running. However for no apparent reason it will suddenly stop and the error message that I need hdcp something comes on and then I cannot continue watching it. It is so random happening after 40 min of viewing or 15 min or sometimes not letting it start at all. Support topics are no help. Any ideas?

  • Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

    I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
    I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
    Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

    Below is from using a SIP build.  It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
    m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
    a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
    a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
    a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
    a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
    a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
    a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
    a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
    a=fmtp:116 mode=20
    a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
    Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call.  It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET!  YAY!
    m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
    a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
    a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
    a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
    a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
    Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues.  The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722.  It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it.  It's fantastic..  The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings.  Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time.  I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
    Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS!  It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost..  I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only.  I'm a little leery about that at this point.  If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
    Sreekanth
    Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build..  That was about the only thing I didn't try.  I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.
