    can't load Firefox
    « on: October 08, 2015, 08:03:23 PM »
    I recently did a system restore to fix a problem and Firefox wouldn't load from the desktop shortcut - it says it's invalid- can't find. It is c:\Program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe which seems right. I can't find a Firefox.exe folder in Mozilla folder though (except in a text file). It won't load from all programs or run either. I have an Intel D845gvsr motherboard XP OS 512mb RAM computer. Is there an easy fix? I have a slow dial-up connection and it would take a long time to download Firefox again. Another option would be to restore again with an older restore point if that would help but I would really like to learn how to fix this. thanks

      Quick response! Tried that path - first it said no results found and then it said Mozilla Firefox is not a valid folder. If I've lost the Firefox.exe folder can I replace it somehow?

      Best bet is to re-install it...regards to your connection ask a friend to grab it and put it on a USB stik or CD...

        Will do. Sure wish I knew what the *censored* happened though. I've heard Firefox is going to be more like Chrome. If so I may just drop it. thanks again
