Firefox 4.0b6 Macbook External Monitor Issue and Dirty Fix

I have been using firefox 4 beta on my macbook pro for a while, now there is a bug that is really annoying. To create the bug:

  1. Connect the macbook pro with an external monitor.
  2. Open firefox and move it to the external monitor.
  3. Close firefox entirely.
  4. Disconnect the external monitor.
  5. Open firefox.

Now firefox window will not show no matter what.

How to make it show again?

Option 1

Connect the external monitor back.

Option 2

  1. “opt + click” to open firefox in safe mode.
  2. Tick the “Reset toolbars and controls” check box and click “continue in safe mode”
  3. Close firefox and open it normally.

Of course your toolbars and controls are reset to the default, at least you can now open firefox without an external monitor.
