Everytime I try to open Firefox, an icon with a magnifying glass appears instead. How can I get rid of this?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
