My Mozilla icon just disappeared from desktop yesterday. It is still on the control panel. This came after the word "Yahoo" disappeared from my browser. I can still get my email because I have Yahoo mail on my taskbar, otherwise I'd be cut off from that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, open the Start Menu, and scroll through the programs; when (if) you see Mozilla Firefox, drag it to your Desktop (doing that will not remove it from the Start Menu).

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
