What do I do about a corrupt jar file at C:/Program Files (x86)/MozillaFirefox/omni.jar!/chrome/browser/content/browser/places/content-ui/controller.xhtml.

Mozilla Firefox is my default browser, but the page doesn't load and I get the message that Mozilla can't find the file at Jar file. I was told to check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. Then check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted. When I checked the file, I was told that it was corrupt. I use Mozilla Thunderbird and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my e-mail and address book, etc.

It didn't work, but I can reach sites that I have a link to on my Desktop. I haven't had Mozilla Firefox very long and I don't even remember what should appear when I select it. Any other thoughts? I appreciate your reply irregardless. At least I am now backed up with a new restore point. Many thanks bens545
