Firefox is minimized but I cannot make it visible again.

Firefox is not hanged. I just cannot see it. Right clicking the icon in taskbar I can open a new Firefox window and work in that, but I cannot open the first window with several tabs in it.
If I close the second window, the first window stays open. Only way to close it, is by taskmanager. Next time I open Firefox it stays hidden.
If I in a new window I try to open a webpage I know is open in a tab in the first window, I get the question if I want to switch to it. I do, but I still don't see it.
With alt-tab I can see Firefox is running, but I cannot switch to it. So I know it is open.
I have tried closing all "plugin-container.exe" in task manager, to no effect.
Firefox take 200Mb of RAM. Normal.

I found a workaround that solved it, though I still don't know the cause.
Right clicking the Firefox icon in taskbar doesn't give the option to maximize the window, but I realized that holding the mouse over it, I get a preview of the window (empty, shows only menubar). Right clicking on this preview, I do get maximize. And now I CAN see the window.
But there is still a bug somewhere. If I click "restore down" the window disappears again.
The workaround I found was this:
- Maximize the first window (with 8 tabs).
- Open a second window.
- Pull all tabs to second window.
- When the last tab is pulled, the first window is automatically closed and removed.
The new window seems to work normal. (I'm writing this...)

Dropdown dialog boxes will not work. I can click on the boxes, the dropdown appears, but I cannot make anything in the box operate. I just upgraded to 6.0.2 on a fresh install of Windows XP

I use the net to pay bills. The dialog box on my bills have accounts in them, but I cannot make the account numbers work. I regularly go to websites that are several pages deep, but the dropdowns for the next page don't work. The numbers, as well as the accounts appear, but they cannot be highlighted to access them.

I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?

Any ideas?

Hi,
Are you opening a PDF file in browser and trying to edit the PDF file there?
Please let me know in more details.
In general most PDF files cannot be edited in browser and some PDF can be edited with the permission for editing in browsers.
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website.

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website. I recently updated firefox, and I was very disappointed to find that the cookies from sites I visit were no longer showing to me. I am still able to use the sites, but I cannot see their cookies to delete them. I like to delete the cookies immediately once I am done with their site.
Help me to see the cookies again. Thank you

I also wanted to let you know, that I find it incredibly stupid, that cookies are hidden away in a tools menu; when most internet users would obviously prefer to be able to immediately see what cookies are being used, and could then just click and delete them immediately, without having to click 4 different buttons and then delete them. PLEASE MAKE THE COOKIES EASIER TO GET RID OF, BY SHOWING THEM IN THE BROWSER ALL THE TIME. thank you

Firefox opens websites, but I cannot perform some functions inside the sites (such as Amtrak scheduling, airline flight scheduling, ebay ask a question of seller, make Best Offer, etc..).

Not sure that this is a Firefox problem, but I noticed this after I updated to the 36 Version. I also have IE on my computer, only use it to access websites if I am having problems with connecting (to verify if the problem is Firefox or my Charter connection)... I now am unable to access IE. I have Windows XP.

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly or is misconfigured.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem.
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Subclassing JTextArea, but i cannot make it scroll

The origin of my problem was that i wanted to make a text editor with a linecount on the left. I found a class on the internet which subclassed jpanel and added a scrollpane and a jtextpane into the panel, and overrid the paint() method in the JTextPane. I changed it to inherit from jtextarea to avoid rewriting all of the methods for editing and getting info from the JTextArea. It seems to work just fine, except for the scrolling, which i cannot get to work at all..
The new class is pasted here: http://pastebin.com/m236b79c9
And the clientclass is here: http://pastebin.com/m2f8199db
I can see three posible solutions:
1. make it work something like the way i have tried before. Perhaps the methods from Scrollable messes it all up?
2. I go back to a previous version where JPanel was the superclass, and write the methods i need to edit and get info from the JTextArea
3. Like #2, except I keep the JTextArea public and access it when needed for, and only write the methods that will be used the most.
#1 is preferable, if not, #2 or #3 is ok..
Gratefull for all help!

Ok, I merged the two classes above to make it small..

Firefox will not launch. (Cannot make a new profile)

Been using Firefox since the dinos--'til Firefox refused to launch.
Tried all the options on the support.
Made sure that there are no extensions, and restarted my laptop more than the number of stars in this universe.
Tried creating a new profile--but no matter what I did, Profile Manager wouldn't start.
Help! I hate using the other browsers ):

First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile].
