Hey, I‘m using KDE and had that problem, too. I rather by chance changed something in the window rules for firefox and voilà, the window reappeared when starting firefox! So I‘m happy now. Hope this will help you too.

The process manager does see it and it has a window title, but I just can't activate it. ____________________________________________________________________ What I tried: - I tried previously with firefox-24.0*.deb and upgraded using the official firefox-next ppa hoping it was fixed (it obviously isn't). - I also tried creating a new profile in the profile manager, but that didn't help. If there is a way to activate console debug output, I would send that in. Or tell me where to put the gdb breakpoint. - Running on the Gnome Fallback without effects, all is fine and I can run firefox normally ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: firefox 25.0~b1+build1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: ubuntu 2241 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 2241 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20130918131455 Channel: Unavailable Date: Sun Oct 20 08:57:58 2013 DefaultProfileExtensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) DefaultProfileLocales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfilePrefSources: prefs.js [Profile]/extensions/tin...@ideeinc.com/defaults/preferences/pref.js [Profile]/extensions/foxypr...@eric.h.jung/defaults/preferences/prefs.js [Profile]/extensions/https-everywh...@eff.org/defaults/preferences/preferences.js DefaultProfileThemes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing ForcedLayersAccel: False IpRoute: default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 proto static 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.40 metric 9 MarkForUpload: True MostRecentCrashID: bp-b7b14acd-72b3-4470-a7b1-1b8752130507 Profile1Plugins: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (1.2-2ubuntu0.10.04.3)) - /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so Google Talk Plugin Video Accelerator - /opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so Google Talk Plugin - /opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgoogletalk.so Shockwave Flash - /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so VLC Multimedia Plug-in - /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so Profile1PrefSources: prefs.js Profile2PrefSources: prefs.js Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=25.0/20130918131455 Profile1 - LastVersion=17.0/20121120042342 (Out of date) Profile2 - LastVersion=24.0/20130917154415 (Out of date) RelatedPackageVersions: kopete 4:4.11.2-0ubuntu1 icedtea-7-plugin 1.4-3ubuntu2 totem-mozilla 3.8.2-0ubuntu2~raring1 rhythmbox-mozilla 2.99.1-0ubuntu1 RunningIncompatibleAddons: False SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-19 (0 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 06/08/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.bios.version: A14 dmi.board.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.board.version: A14 dmi.chassis.type: 8 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.chassis.version: A14 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvrA14:bd06/08/2011:svnDellInc.:pnInspironN5010:pvrA14:rvnDellInc.:rn:rvrA14:cvnDellInc.:ct8:cvrA14: dmi.product.name: Inspiron N5010 dmi.product.version: A14 dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Inc.
