The text under your Firefox icon on the Windows desktop has changed to chrc...? I think you can rename it to anything you like, but I can't think of any reason for it to change on its own.

Could you right-click it and take a look at Properties? You would expect to see a "target" like "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". Anything sketchy there?

You can consider to set the desktop shortcut to read-only after changing if to Mozilla Firefox to avoid such changes.
