I feel like an idiot. I let my husband use the desktop and actually kind of walked away from computers for awhile but today decided to check out the desktop and Firefox is no longer there, what do I do?

Today I got onto my desktop and found that Mozilla was not no longer what I was using. I don't know how it changed. I am no longer a young person but I Still have a few brain cells left, I hope. I always trusted Firefox and the reviews were always positive about their safety issues. Can I get my Mozilla back and how did it get out of my computer??? Microsoft is not Firefox, Correct? Maybe I am reading it incorrectly. I have been mostly away from day to day stuff since last fall, just to take a break, sigh! Please be kind with an answer, please.

To check if Firefox is installed on your desktop, type the word 'Firefox' into the search field that placed close to Start button (check out the attached screenshots). If there is no Firefox icon appear, use this guide to install Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-install-firefox-windows

Is Firefox still installed on your computer if you check this in Program Files in case only the desktop shortcut is missing?
