On windows 10 when I try to open firefox from the desktop I get a message telling me, "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Make sure you typed the name correctly."

  • I've tried opening the application from the program files, and get the same error
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the application
  • Windows isn't letting me into safe mode
  • I use Avast Preminum Security

See if this works ( notice the quotes front and back ) : "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
