I'm using the beta Aurora, and it was working fine until it automatically update. It's not working anymore. The short cut key in desktop changes and when you click it. it says"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". I cannot uninstall it to install a new firefox.

Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows:

  1. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

  2. Right click firefox.exe and choose Send To, then Desktop (Create shortcut)

Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

Did you check that the path that is used in the shortcut is still valid and that all files are present ?

You can download and (re)install the Firefox version that you want.
