Why is it that every time I update Firefox, something bad happens? Anyway, after updating to 20.0.1, Firefox has been displaying oddly on the Windows taskbar. It is displaying a generic icon rather than the Firefox icon, and only the number of windows open is shown (i.e., where normally it would say "X (number of windows) - Mozilla Firefox" it now just says "X"). When I opened Windows Task Manager, firefox.exe is also not identified as being Mozilla Firefox, and when I rightclick and select Properties, it says "Cannot find C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe." Also, when I ran Firefox for the first time after the update, Comodo Defense+ kept popping up asking me if I wanted to allow Firefox to do various things, which doesn't normally happen after an update. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

ok so what you need to do is go into your virus scanner and allow mozila to run properly or give it permission if this does not work I can not help you on any more :(

If there are problems with updating Firefox then the most likely cause is security software that isn't playing well and is either using or otherwise protecting files against changes.
