I uninstalled firefox accidentally. after which i tried installing. I am getting the window "Click Finish to launch firefox". but when i click finish, no window is opening. when i select the shortcut icon from the desktop, it is also not working. In the start menu, mozilla firefox icon, but it is showing only the mozilla firefox icon and not any other options. i tried uninstalling and restarting the system several times but in vain.
