Out of the blue, Firefox window doesn't display

Running Firefox on a Windows 10 PC, since whenever. All of a sudden, after no obvious system change, the Firefox window doesn't display. I've tried Maximise/Minimise, I've renamed xulstore.json, and I've uninstalled then re-installed Firefox. Still no joy; the Firefox window is nowhere to be seen. I've never had a second monitor, so there's no obvious reason for the window to be off-screen... but it is. Had to resort to Chrome to send this, but I'm desperate to get Firefox back. Help?

Let's try this. Open Firefox normally. Once open, right-click the Firefox icon and select Open New Window. Once it opens, right-click the first icon and select Close Window. Wait for a slow count of 10, then close the last icon.

Now try Firefox.

Thank you, Fred,

But at Step 3 (right-click the first icon and select Close Window), Close Window isn't an option; I have only Close all windows, which kills the second window as well. Sorry; maybe I've missed something?

hi, please try to alt+tab until the firefox window is focussed (though invisible) and then press windows-key + left arrow multiple times until the window hopefully comes into view.
