Firefox does not open, says it's running when trying to restart, but does not show up
Cannot get Firefox to visibly run. Will not open in safe mode and will not close (says its running when I attempt to shutdown or restart computer. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled 8.0 several times and nothing has changed. Have scanned , defragmented, etc. computer and tried a couple system restores as this once cured similar problem with Firefox several months ago.

Bring up the Windows Task Manager, but look in the "Processes" tab for firefox.exe, and close it from there, it won't do you any good looking for it in the "Applications" tab when you don't see it on the system taskbar.
closing Firefox properly, and for when you just want to close and restarting Firefox immediately, see more information in
