Why would I be advised to go to Control Panel and re-configure Widows XP when I first open Firefox? I have no idea what would have happened to cause this. I don't know how to re-configure my OPERATING SYSTEM from the Control Panel. The solution to all this may be quite elementary, but it seems to me that I ought to have some idea what happened or what needs to be fixed so I can handle this stuff should it ever happen again.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

No. The advisory notice appeared only when I re-started Firefox. I've closed it and opened it again and again and it has not re-appeared. So, maybe it isn't crucial, but I am afraid it might be important and I don't want any trouble with my browser of choice or my operating system.
