Why can't I get Firefox to load on my desktop?

Hi Jim, are you getting a specific error message, for example, in a little popup dialog? That would be helpful in providing next steps.

If absolutely nothing happens when you try to start Firefox, you may need to do a regular shutdown/restart of Windows.

If the Taskbar seems to show a Firefox window is open but you can't see it anywhere, it might be off screen or on a second desktop. We can help you with steps to resolve those issues.
