I have tried the icon on the task bar, on the desk top, and on the programs list on C drive. none work. Also if i reinstall foxfire without shutting the pc down (Windows 8) i get the message that foxfire is already running and must be shut down, though I cannot find it or shut it down.

Do you have the Firefox icon on your quick launch? Right click on it, and select Open New Window. Sometimes this works. If it opens, close it by Menu > File > Exit.


This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up in Windows. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866 {web link}
