Since I installed Firefox I cannot acsess any settings in my computer.
When I try to access the control Panel I get a message that says " Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file. You my not have the appropriate permission to access item " . I cannot even get into "My computer info"

Reboot the computer. Is the problem still there?
