Filefox won't open when I click desktop icon.

I can only open it by going into the program file and clicking on previous version which gives me a prompt for starting the .exe file with the warning that it is outside the network. I don't know how it got outside the network. I haven't changed any settings.

Hi, you could start by going into the Start Menu and ssearch for FF in there. Click on that and see if it works. If it does, delete the Icon that doesnt work and save the other Icon to your desktop again. :)
