Firefox will start running, but wont open into an interactable window.
Every time I click on Firefox to open a window, the taskbar icon and task manager say that it is open, but no window appears on my screen. If I hover over the icon on the taskbar, I can see the window, and even navigate to frequent pages by right clicking, but I can't SEE any Firefox window open.
