About 3 days ago when I tried to open Firefox from the Firefox icon on my desktop and it flips to MSN.com. Firefox is my default web browser. Is there any way to fix it so that when I click on the Firefox icon, firefox opens?

www.msn.com is a web page that displays when you first start Firefox. To fix it to restore to default, go to Tools>Options>General>Restore to Default

Thank you so much. I kept trying to fix it under the General tab from Firefox. I opened firefox, which flipped to MSN and fixed it like you said from the MSN Tools, General tab. You are great! Thank you again.
