all worked fine this morning, now when clicking on shortcut i get error saying The item 'firefox.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. do you want to delete this shortcut? this is the shortcut target "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
