Hello.

Since I updated Firefox non of the shortcuts seem to work, desktop or quick-bar. Only way to star it is from the root folder of Firefox, I tried creating new shortcut from there but it doesn't work. Funny thing is that no matter how many times I try to open the Firefox via shortcuts they are shown in the Task manager, all of them, but non of them open the program, they are all around 2.000 K in size but the one that works goes from 75.000 K up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey Cor-el, thanks for your help. I did try everything you suggested earlier and it didn't work, I tried with clean install with no profiles, created a new one, didn't work, deleted xulstore.json, also didn't work. I've tried everything all of you suggested but didn't fix the problem, but, on a higher note, this 44.0.2 update fixed the problem. I don't know what they changed, but it worked.

Once again, thank you all for help on this matter, FredMcD and cor-el, best regards to you.
