the last few weeks when i open firefox it opens with no search bar, no address bar, no bars at all. all i have is a blank white page with Mozilla Firefox at the top left corner, and on the top right corner the minimize, restore and close buttons. i can try and open many many times and the same thing comes up. i tried reinstalling the latest version, i tried the F11 key, the alt key, all other keys. the only way i can use it is if by luck i get firefox to load with bars, and then i click on a random link to open a tab and use that. this is very frustrating. i also shut down my computer completely for about half an hour and restarted, hoping it would help. I cannot open anything to check anything. there is no file/edit/view/...tools bar for me to go and change anything. there is nothing but a blank page. i would really appreciate any help. this never happened before, and i had not installed anything new when this started.

I started reading this and it gave me a headache (I was scared to go into that file), so I just decided to completely uninstal firefox, reboot and reinstal. So far, so good, however I will monitor it. If it continues I will try editing that file. Thx for the response and suggestion.
