Question

Firefox icons on desktop and taskbar no longer "work"

Feb 7, 2014 6:19AM PST

I need to go into Program Files(x86)>Mozilla Firefox and click on the firefox logo in that folder for the Firefox page to appear. Any ideas? This just started, and it took me a while to come up with that solution...

I wasn't online all day today, turned on the computer tonight, held my breath, clicked the Firefox icon and the home page appeared. All is well. It healed itself??? I praised the computer, and am not going to worry about it any longer... Happy If it happens again, I will post once more, but I hope not.
