Hi there,

I run the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10. Since a couple of weeks ago (possibly after installing CCleaner), the shortcut I have on my desktop for Twitter (and others) only seems to work when a tab is already open. Otherwise it just opens Google with an empty mask.

Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?

Many thanks


Ian

We do not recommend using 3rd party programs to 'clean' Firefox as they sometimes remove the wrong things.

Also, Firefox can clean itself.
