Desktop Icons Disappearing

Having just downloaded the latest Firefox update (I'm on the beta channel), as soon as it rebooted, five of my desktop icons disappeared. I've got over 60 icons on my desktop and I can't remember what they are. Is there any way of finding out which icons disappeared and reinstate them please?

Hi markyb208,

I am not sure what you have is a Firefox problem.

Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 Desktop. In a standard install Firefox will try to add an icon to the desktop but it should not do anything to delete icons.

Hi,

Yes I am talking about my Windows 7 desktop. The icons disappeared just a moment before Firefox came up on my screen. Because of the timing of the event, I'm almost certain it was something to do with Firefox
