Every morning when i turn on computer, i must reinstall firefox. Clicking on the icon in my lower tray, or clicking on the exe file on desktop do not work. In order to use firefox, i must remove program (ctl panel) and reinstall *every* morning. Why? And what can i do to avoid this, please?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

i initially installed firefox
