Can't see my Firefox window and tabs, but they are somehow open
when I start Firefox, there is a tile on the taskbar, but the window does not get drawn. Therefore Firefox is completely unusable. I tried restarting Windows and re-installing Firefox. (Windows 7 professional, service pack 1, 64-bit) Firefox file version 29.0.1.5239

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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

first , right click on the taskbar , start task manager . then in the task manager , select , process tab . you will find firefox 32.exe or something like that . right click on that , from the pop up menu select , end process tree .do this for every firefox.exe remaining in the task manager . after ending every firefox process , now start your firefox , i hope , it will start now :)
yes, I already tried that.
I guess I will have to stop using Firefox.

I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox to MSE excluded files and locations, then I could open FF in safe mode using the Shift key. (what is the Shift/Options key?) ... then I reset ff
