Firefox is open but will not appear on monitor

I tried to drag to second monitor...now it has disappeared and I cannot locate. It is open. I have tried uninstall re install...still seems to be lost somewhere that is not visible.
Could I please get some suggestions.
Thank you

Fred, It looks to me like you have to see the toolbar to correct what you are suggesting....I cannot see the tool bar.
Or did I miss something?
Thanks

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • CTRL F (Search) opens but will not find content on the active webpage.

    I often use the Search function (CTRL F) on webpages to search for content. Since upgrading to version 31.0 it no longer works. It opens but will not find anything.

    Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar doesn't have a tick.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • Firefow will not open at all on one computer and on the other it opens but will not load. I just added a new wireless router, could this have anything to do with it, it had been working fine up until I installed it Tuesday night. Internet explorer won't

    I installed a new wireless router on Tues. (May4) up until that time I had no problems using Firefox. Now I cannot get it to open on one computer, and the other it will open but will not load. Wondering if it has anything to do with the router, my provider or our computers. Again, it had been working fine. I am also unable to open interent explorer now on either computer.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.4; AskTB5.6)

    Sounds like a problem with the router installation/configuration (likely) or a DOA router (very unlikely).
    Visit the forums for the router manufacturer (i.e., linksys, d-link, etc.) and ask for assistance there. There is probably a link to help listed in the router manual.

    App is open but will not show photos.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Firefox opens but will not maximize.

    Out of nowhere Firefox will not maximize. The icon for it is at the bottom left on Windows 8, and I can hover over that icon and see a small version of a Firefox browser window, but I can't get it to open all the way or maximize so I can actually use it. Any suggestions are appreciated - thanks!

    Occasionally the Firefox window will get off screen. Here are three different approaches to getting that window into view. One of them should work!
    '''Firefox Window "off screen" — Arrow Key Method'''
    If you know that Firefox is off to a particular side, you can use the arrow keys to move it back on screen. You only need to move it far enough to be able to click the title bar and then you can drag it the rest of the way.
    Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to start moving the window:
    Alt+Spacebar > m
    (To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter m to start moving the window.)
    Press the arrow key for the direction you want to move the window, e.g., press the left arrow key to move the window left. Press the Enter key to complete the move.
    '''Firefox Window "off screen" — Maximize + New Window Script Method'''
    If Firefox is nowhere to be found but you know it's out there, try this method.
    Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to maximize the window:
    Alt+Spacebar > x
    (To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter x to maximize the window.)
    ''If that works,'' try this:
    (1) Copy the following line of code to the clipboard (it's all one line...):
    newwin=window.open(window.location.href, "_blank", "width=640,height=480,menubar,toolbar,personalbar");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 caret (&raquo;) then press Enter to run it. A new copy of that page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen.
    (4) Switch back to the maximized window and close it first, before doing anything in the new window.
    '''Firefox Window "off screen" — Remove Settings File'''
    If you can't move or maximize Firefox, you can rename or delete the settings file that stores the last window position.
    (1) Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder).
    From the Start menu (Run box or search box), paste this into the search box and press Enter:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    This should open a window showing one or more Firefox profile folders. If you have multiple folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder.
    (2) If Firefox is still running, right-click it on the Task Bar and Close all Windows.
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your profile folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any luck?

  • Firefox opens but will not conduct any search or open a webpage

    I can open up firefox but the browser will not respond. I type a search or a page in firefox but it does nothing. If I open a new tab and do the same, it still does nothing; not even the initiation of trying to load a page.
    I cannot find anything on this on any help site and would really like to get back to using firebox.

    I have tried entering Mozilla Firefox in safe mode and attempted to load webpages but nothing happened as before. I refreshed firefox and that solved the problem and i was able to launch webpages... BUT. once i closed the browser and had to use it again the same problem came up and i was no longer able to open webpages again, thus requiring me to refresh yet again. of course this is no conducive to do each and every time as i will lose all saved information, bookmarks, etc.
    any further thoughts on what to attempt next would be greatly appreciated. I have used Firefox for more than 8 years and have never encountered this anomaly.

  • After upgrading, Firefox opens but will not function.

    My OS is Vista Ultimate (64-bit). My firewall is Norton360.
    After automatically upgrading yesterday, my firefox no longer functions/works. I get a firefox screen that is partially enabled, but am not able to open any websites, etc.

    You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • 5.0 update loads whether I want it to or not, and afterwards is open, but does not appear open on the screen, so I have to uninstall Firefox and reinstall 4.o, which works for a few days until the 5.0 update loads by itself, and I repeat the process.

    After Firefox automatically updates to 5.0, I cannot open Firefox from the desktop icon, because it's apparently already open, yet I don't see it, and can't find it! It has effectively rendered the internet unusable for me until I uninstall Firefox, and then reinstall 4.0 without the update 5.0. This only lasts a few days before it automatically updates again.
    A backup question is, in the event you have no idea what's going on, is how do I prevent 5.0 from automatically installing itself?

    First of all, are you aware that Spry is a dead technology and the code you're wrestling with is over 7 years old and will not work with mobile touchscreen devices (essential in today's web world)?
    Even though it's included in older versions of Dreamweaver, Adobe formally abandoned Spry last year
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l'
    Point being, few people will advise you to continue along this Spry path.
    You're better off investing your energy in a modern up-to-date menu system.

  • Firefox will not connect to websites, it opens but will not go to sites, just keeps cycling

    None of the browsers (Firefox, IE or Chrome) will connect to websites. They open but just keep cycling

    I have tried all of the options in that first link you showed and none worked. I also configured my firewall (Windows Firewall) and ensured firefox was in the "Allow" list, which it was. I still have the issue.
    I did notice something interesting though. When I first checked the firewall, Mozilla firefox wasn't on the list at all. I had to manually add it and then made sure it was allowed to connect to the internet. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I never got one of those windows notifications asking me if I wanted to add a rule for firefox. Checking the firewall settings again, firefox was still absent. I don't think it matters, firefox doesn't work with no rules at all in the firewall, or if I manually add the rule and allow firefox to connect.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Firefox incompletely open and will not close

    Firefox will not open. Message says the program is damaged. But when I try to delete the Firefox aps the message tells me I cannot delete it because it is open. Nothing, however, appears on my screen. Firefox is both open and invisible. I cannot completely open it nor can I completely close it.

    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    Did you check the Firefox rules and make sure that is doesn't block Firefox?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
