Firefox now needs to be clicked on twice before starting. In addition is not reopening previous windows and tabs on startup although this option selected in settings. Is this related to a new version? Thank you!

Hi donthavecow -- thank you for your response. Firefox is on my taskbar and would open with one click. More recently with the first click nothing happens so need a second click to open Firefox which is strange. David

Have you tried to unpin it and then pin it again. This is not a browser issue, but a common Windows issue. You will need to get under the hood of Windows to reset the taskbar. If you are not comfortable with the process, there are also videos on YouTube that walk you through the same process.

GOOD LUCK ;-)
