Have Firefox on 3 computers for a long time. About a month ago Installing Firefox appeared as my opening page rather then Just the normal Firefox Browser.
When I click on Firefox Icon it opens in Getting Started with Firefox instead of Firefox Browser. It keeps asking me if I want to download fireFox? I have been using it for years. Can't get rid of this. I just want to open in firefox browser.
