Even though the error window pops up, the chosen website comes up normally in the browser. But I have to close the error window each time. This does not happen with Internet Explorer

Try create a new shortcut.

Go to Program Files then Mozilla Firefox folder then right click on the firefox.exe file and click Send to then Desktop (Create shortcut) to create the new shortcut to open Firefox.


thank you

Needless to say, creating a new shortcut didn't help, because my problem isn't with opening Firefox directly, but only when I click on a website link in Favorites in the Windows 7 Start Menu before Firefox has been opened.
