Firefox "opens" when clicked, but the window doesn't appear. Hovering over the icon, the window is visible, but will not appear when selected. Uninstalled & Reinstalled Firefox; Rebooted, Deleted 'parentlock', and several other fixes.

Chosen solution

Could you send us a screenshot when you are hovering over the icon?

Otherwise you can try to start Firefox in Safe Mode.

  1. Close totally Firefox: Open the Task Manager, find the firefox.exe process and end it.
  2. Start Firefox by holding down the shift key of your keyboard.

Is the Firefox window displayed normally?
