updated from 8.0 to 9.0.1 and now get this message when I use a bookmark to open firefox that says "Windows cannot find http:// www. the address of the bookmark Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" Then firefox opens and goes to web page desired. This happens for every bookmark. After closing firefox the message is still on desktop and I must click OK to clear the message before I can do anything else. Any suggestions?

Chosen solution

You went to the same page I did 7 hours ago. Use the "FILES TYPE EDIT" solution and follow almost all of the instructions...Edit FIREFOX URL, HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL and HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL WITH PRIVACY....It isn't necessary to take the step of "unchecking the "DDE BOX", just follow the instructions to delete the characters in the "DDE Message Box" and the problem is fixed. If you uncheck the "DDE BOX", as instructed, it may come back to bite you.

Thank you for helping,
