i upgraded from the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons that i used with the previous version display a popup dialogue box that says windows cannot find that website, check the spelling--address--etc. But immediately after that window pops up the website does load. I tried loading the original website, deleting the old shortcut and dragging the new shortcut to my desktop but Firefox still gives me the same message.

cor-el, Thanks for the response. It did solve the problem. I did uninstall and reinstall ff4 but that did not fix the problem. The real problem was my Foxclocks extension. When I disabled that the problem was solved. Thanks, APZ1
