Firefox is opening to a black screen and I can not access any menu options to reset it. Can I reset it from the application on my desktop?
I am using Windows 7 and have never had a problem with Firefox. When I tried to open yesterday, after using all day, opened to black screen (grey panel across top of screen). I shut computer down and restarted it and is still not working. If I uninstall will I loose bookmarks and other saved information?

hello ginapal, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd2000/3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode by pressing the shift key while the application is launching & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
