Every time I click on the mozilla icon the next view on my desk top is Yahoo. I don't want to use Yahoo. I tried to download a user manual for mozilla and that didn't work either. Mozilla is becoming a frustrating joke.

You can also check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
