All my desktop shortcuts to websites are opening in the Mozilla home page, instead of the website. I've had this problem before and had to uninstall and re-install Mozilla to fix it. Why is it happening?

This may be a problem with DDE being used and not working.

Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser like IE as the default browser.

Hi and thanks for the help. I updated all my plugins and disabled IE (which I don't use anyway) and it has solved the problem. Maybe a conflict between IE and Firefox?

Maybe disabling IE triggered Windows to correct (rebuild) some registry keys that fixed the problem.
