Firefox Developer's edition lunches as a background proccess and doesn't lunch the actual browser
Hello,
I've been using firefox developer's edition for a few months now (1~2) and one day I tried to open the browser i just didn't open. The interaction is as follows : Double-click the ff dev's icon a very short change in the cursor to a loading state ff dev's is added in the task manager as a background task the browser never opens
I have tried unistalling it and istalling it again clearing all temp files etc no change I run on a i7 @ 3.4 GHz - 12 GB Ram system with win 8.1 so probably memory issues are crossed out As a backgroung task ff dev's takes up to 200MB of Ram and after a few seconds stabilises at 190MB
The exact same problem apeared the same time to my laptop too. It's a Dell Latitude E6510 (i5 - 4GB)

Ok. I have narrowed down the problem. It's one of the add-ons. When I deactevated all the add-ons (with ccleaner) and THEN deleted the parnet.lock file(s) both Firefox standard and dev edition astarted up normally. I will look in to the exact add-on in a few days (a week maybe). A list with the add-ons I turned off :
- Adblock Plus (Wladimir Palant)
- ChatZilla (The ChatZilla Team)
- Logitec SetPoint (Logitec Inc.)
- MEGA (Mega Limited)
- Sitebar client for Firefox 4.0.x (Bas Burger and the SiteBar Team)
- Google Update (Google Inc.)
EDIT : And just as I hit post I start trying to narrow it down to the problematic add-on and I get it with the first hit :P The problem was cause by :

Hello, try to delete the parent.lock file inside profile folder
thank you
Thank you for your reply. I tried to delete it but it made no difference.
Now I have the same problem with normal (not the Dev. edition) firefox on my laptop (Dell) not connected with your advice though.
Thank you for your help :)
