Firefox loads but does not appear onscreen.
It is as described. I double click on the icon. Courser clocks as Firefox loads. And nothing. I start Task Manager and see that Firefox is running using about 13% CPU. There is no "Make Appear Button" anywhere. So I end task. Restart computer. Try again. Nothing different. I uninstall Firefox. Reboot the computer. Install Firefox. Reboot computer. Double click on desktop icon. And nothing changed.
What I am thinking is there is a setting on either FF or Windows 10 (Basic cheapest Windows 10 possible for desktop) is incorrectly set. I had this setup running with FF for about 4 months.

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.

Had to delete all files after the Profile directory. Firefox then started like new.
Good to hear. Safe surfing.
