    I use Chrome as my default browser, but when I click on it, it won't open, so I have to use Firefox.
    I'd like to get back to Chrome as it's got all my passwords.
    I'm using Windows 8, I think.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    Uninstall / Reinstall?

    If you can't get chrome working you might be able access your saved passwords via http://passwords.google.com if you were signed into chrome using your Google account.

    No joy-maybe I've inadvertantly disabled it?

    Whenever you are trying to open it, does it have an error message?

    NOt a thing- progress circle turns for 3 seconds then nothing.
    However I managed to get it going again-no idea what I did, but it seems to be a bit of a problem,as I came across other threads highlighting it.
    Thanks to all for the advice.
