When I log on to Yahoo, it says it cannot find it, but then it does.

When I open Yahoo for the first time of the day, I get a message that Windows cannot find it. Then it immediately logs on. This is annoying. Why do I get that message and then it overrides the message to log on? My Yahoo is on a shortcut on my desktop right next to my Firefox shortcut.

What kind of link or shortcut are you using to start Yahoo?

Error that occur when Firefox is closed and you click a link in another program can result from mixed up registry settings. Check out this article for suggestions: Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base.
