after uninstalling and reinstalling on windows 8,firefox still only opens on the taskbar where I can view it in thumbnail but when I click on the taskbar firefox icon it will not open up to full desktop view. I know it is open because I can hover over taskbar icon and thumbnail view appears.

hello kuulaa, please try the following while all firefox windows are closed: press windows-key + R and open %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. a explorer window should open, in there go into the <randomstring>.default folder, search for a file named localstore.rdf and rename or delete that file.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

See:

You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe Mode:

On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
