When i click on firefox, it does not open. After Several times trying, it might open. Sometimes I have to click open new tabs to open this. Why is this happening?

Hi,

You can try to right-click and Unpin the icon from the taskbar and then Pin it back from the Firefox installation directory, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\.

Another possible reason could be that the installed security software is delaying the start (McAfee??). You can try to fully trust Firefox and its related processes/files in the different McAfee configuration areas (e.g. process/sub process control, file modification, HIPS etc.). You can also try to disconnect the internet connection, temporarily disable McAfee, restart the computer and check.
