When I go to open firefox it shows up on my tool bar but not on my screen where is it?

Question

It feels like it's opening up in another screen in a dual screen situation...but I'm only only my laptop with the one screen.

Answer 1

It's possible that the window is "off screen".
If you make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination, does it maximize into view?
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:
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 caret (>) 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.
''If you can't 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, paste this into the search box and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
You may only have one folder, but if you have multiple folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder.
(2) Switch back to Firefox and Exit completely.
(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?
