Iv'e recently noticed that whenever i click on
the Firefox icon on my desktop that Firefox doesn't open up...what should i do about this & why is this happening?
Will uninstalling & reinstalling Firefox
fix the problem or is it more complicated?
Hit control alt delete together. Go to processes and see if firefox or mozilla firefox shows up anywhere. If it does, click on end task. Then it should start for you. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

If that doesn't work, your computer could possibly have a virus, so I would do a virus scan to rule that out. If that's not the problem, it's possible that another program (such as a virus scanner) is preventing firefox from opening.
