If I right click on the Firefox Icon on the task bar then pick a frequent web site that is listed there it will no longer open Firefox and take me to the web site. Even if I have FF open it still will not work.

Hi,

You can try to right-click the icon and unpin it, exit and start Firefox, and right-click and pin it again. You can also try unpinning it, browse to the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox or C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox), right-click firefox (firefox.exe) and pin it.

Thanks for the reply however I've traced it back to a program I installed called Memeo Pro for a Seagate backup drive. I uninstalled Memeo and FF works fine, reinstalled it a FF is broke again. Dropped Memeo a note about this.
