Firefox stopped launching from the desktop. After reinstalling the new 127 both once with the 64bit, windows 10, English. The with the 32 bit version as well with the same configurations.

The problem is that the browser will not launch from the install finish window or the short cut icon. I can start Firefox from the Search window > Firefox > run as administrator. Firefox will start up but will not google search and the settings button will not function. I have installed Google Chrome and am sending this message through them. I don't want to use Google for all the reason for privacy that you already know. HOW can I get Firefox back ? Thank you for any and all help you can offer. My Best Regards, Doc'
