On my desktop, when wanting to see pictures on a CD, if I click on the picture icon it open as a word document. I must right click on the icon then click on preview and can then see all pictures on the CD. This just started after the last Firebos update. What needs to be done to correct. I have no problem seeing the pictures on my laptop which doen not have Firefox.

Firefox is a web browser, and your problem is associated with how Windows handles image files. Firefox doesn't even need to be running, so I don't see how it could be associated with your problem. If the problem started around the same time as a Firefox update, I'm willing to bet that it was just a coincidence.

Try asking in a Windows forum. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/community
