I have run Mozilla Firefox on my Windows PC for years with no problem. Now, when I click on the desktop icon, nothing happens. The .exe file is in the same location, nothing has changed but it just will not start and run

I am having to use this iPad to send this message

I hope you have a solution !

Try scanning your computer and see if it helps

Thanks.

The next day, without doing anything, it worked normally again.

Great relief!
