All of a sudden Firefox won't open. I click on the icon in my start menu/ taskbar and nothing happens. This was working perfectly fine about half an hour before this. I've already checked the task manager and firefox is not open in the process window. I've even tried installing firefox again but it does the same thing. I did not try to uninstall the current version as I don't think this will work, and I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help! Internet Explorer is horrible! And by the way that browser is working okay.

Does opening Firefox in safe mode work? Follow these instructions: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode

So I still tried everything I could think of to get my browser back because I really didn't want to find another. NOTHING worked. I than decided to start clicking my mouse like crazy on my icon and it appears that for some reason Mozilla was hidden in my Weather Channel icon, so when I triple clicked on that, (and everything else) up pops my browser. I'm guessing that this probably won't help anyone, but wanted to let you know. And I still don't know how it ever got there!

I've ESET nod 32 installed on my system and have the same problem i dont know what actually caused this problem but when i disable real-time file system protection (before running Firefox) it comes up properly but when i do it with protection enabled it just does not appear even i can see the app running with send and receive just it's window doesn't show up i don't know how to fix it but it seems to be something about security
