Hi There, I have used Mozilla Firefox for a while now and yesterday when I clicked on my Firefox icon to open it, I received this error msg "Windows cannot find C:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox.exe" So I removed it from my programs, went to the Firefox download, re-installed, that worked fine, but after the install, same thing happened. I clicked on the icon and same pop up. I am using Windows Vista. HELP!

If that is really the path where Windows looks then something is wrong: 

C:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox.exe

That should probably be C:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe

Try to delete that desktop shortcut and reboot the computer to be sure that it is removed and create a new desktop shortcut to start Firefox.
