I have had Firefox on this partion for several months. Yahoo indicated that I had to upgrade Firefox. It gave me a toolbar that I didn't want and couldn't remove. I uninstalled Mozilla. I have tried unsuccessfully to reinstall Firefox, including trying an older version. It goes through the process. When finished, the icon is a box, When i click on it, it defaults to have it deleted. It has a short message that says : The item 'firefox.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut? Yes No

Tylerdowner, thanks for your reply. However, that's not it. I ended up solving the problem. The computer was bought for me by a business associate. The individual who he bought it from set up the computer for him. So the download was going to the default partition. I did a "custom" instillation and changed the name to me. It then installed properly.

Most likely that icon is just a corrupted older one. Delete that Icon, then reinstall Firefox.
