This can get frustrating for sure, but at least you get to use Firefox If it didnвЂ™t work that first time, it usually will definitely start up this time- if not, give it one more try. Sometimes this still doesnвЂ™t open it, so i go through the whole process again (END TASK- RUN- FIREFOX.EXEвЂ¦etc). Next thing i do is click START to open start menuДЄgain, give it a few minutes- even when Firefox is working, it still takes a little to start up (at least for me it does). I CTRL + ALT + DELETE to open TASK MANAGER

I wait a few minutes to be sure (Firefox usually takes some time to start running anyway) So, i double-click the Firefox shortcut on my desktop, but Firefox never starts up. I am currently using Firefox 3, w/ a number of different add-ons (although, as i mentioned above, Firefox functioned just fine, for quite a while, even with a lot of different add-ons installed.) I have, however found a SOLUTION that works for me: Now that the operating system stabilized, you can expect more Windows-specific improvements coming to Firefox over the next months.After having used Firefox for approximately 6 months- 1 year without any major issues at all, I too began experiencing this problem.

Since Windows 10 has been under active development with new changes landing every couple of weeks up until recently, we have been designing for a moving target. That means you can have the convenience of searching the web right from the Windows task bar, and at the same time still use your favorite search engine. When you search the web from the Windows search box, Firefox will automatically use the search engine youвЂ™ve selected in the browser, as long as Firefox is set as your default browser (you can set it as the default in the Windows system settings). Since one of our guiding principles is to put you in control of your experience, weвЂ™ve set out to find a way of providing more choice here. It is great to have such a global entry point to finding things on the internet, but it comes with a trade-off: by default, the Windows search field only shows results from MicrosoftвЂ™s search engine Bing. You can use it to search your files, ask questions to the digital assistant Cortana and also to search the web. One of the most visible new features of Windows 10 is the system wide search field in the task bar. And weвЂ™re continuing to investigate ways to make Firefox play nicely with the new tablet mode that Windows 10 introduces. Visually this manifests in a larger address bar and more tapable close buttons on the tabs. ItвЂ™s the good parts of Windows 10 design paired with the Firefox you know and love!ДЄt the same time, we set out to improve the compatibility of Firefox with touch-operated tablets and hybrid devices. With version 40, Firefox is embracing the clean appearance of modern apps: it reduces lines and borders and uses flatter surfaces while preserving the friendliness of the previous Firefox interface. As a result, the huge differences in look and feel between classic and modern apps, that was extremely pronounced (and almost universally disliked) in Windows 8, is vanishing. We see more flatness, more bold colors and generally more visual consistency throughout the OS.

The direction of the visual design of Windows 10 was clearly to finish what Windows 8 started. Rarely is that more true than when adapting an existing product to a new environment. Over the past months, a small team at Mozilla has been working on optimizing Firefox for the new operating system вЂ“ both visually and functionally.ДЄ familiar experience dressed in a new wayД¬harles Eames famously said: В»The details are not the details.

With the release of Firefox 40, all users of Windows 10 are in for a treat.
