I have to keep re-installing Firefox as my desktop shortcuts to various webpages stop working and Firefox homepage opens instead.

If I delete and re-install Firefox, they work for a couple of days, then I'm back to the home page opening instead.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Hi - I have Microsoft Security Essentials and the normal Windows firewall.

Shortcuts are o.k. for 2-3 days after re-installing Firefox, then revert to opening Mozilla homepage.
