I re-installed firefox again for but still when i want to open it it only appears on my taskbar . I don't get any error-messages and it's active cause when i go over the taskbar symbol of it it show's me the small version of what my window would look like but when i click on it it doesn't do anything .

I tried to open it as administrator , same thing happens it just appears on my taskbar but still cannot open the window it self. I removed it and re-installing it serveral times by now could it be because i have a windows 8.1 version with 64 bit controling system on my desktop ?

Kind regards Firebee
