Upon attempting to load firefox i recieve the message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the file name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search."

None of the icons in the search window will open either, all giving the same error message.
