After updating my OS and re-installing Firefox I've lost several programs, they are now in a new desktop folder. "Removed Apps". How do I recover them?

Basically I can no longer play Battlefield 3. There is a new icon on my desktop with the firefox logo "removed apps". There doesn't seem to be any way to restore anything that was removed.

Did you refresh Windows? or Reset it? That's usually where that folder comes from. You'll have to re-install those programs. Regardless this isn't a Firefox issue, that file is just an HTML file that opens in Firefox because it's your web browser.

Hi, that is a Windows 10 thing. It did not like the programs and uninstalled or moved them. You will have to reinstall them again.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
