It seems the underlying links of the Start and Shortcut icons are corrupted because they are unable to invoke the FireFox programs to load. I updated Firefox yesterday and it ran well with the restart option after installing When I brought up the system today I encountered this problem. If I may have to re-download and re-install Firefox? must I uninstall my current programs?
