FOXMAIL DOES NOT OPEN WHEN CLICKING SHORTCUT ICON WINDOWS
Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer).

If the problem is still not resolved, try the following solutions (you may need to repeat these steps after each Firefox update): If the problem continues, you can disable or uninstall individual extensions to see if one of them is responsible. To see if an extension is causing the issue, try updating all extensions ("Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions -> Find Updates") in case the problem has been fixed in the latest version. Problematic extensions can cause the issue, including the Google Toolbar for Firefox and possibly others (disabling or uninstalling the Google Toolbar extension will stop the error if not caused by some other toolbar). Some Vista users report that simply reinstalling Firefox fixes the problem. Also, if Firefox is not open and you click a URL link in a document or spreadsheet, Firefox may open a window with a message that the page could not be found with the address bar showing "FirefoxHTML%5CShell%5COpen%5CCommand" appended to the URL. In older Outlook versions (e.g., Outlook 2003) a dialog titled "Locate Link Browser" may appear. The system cannot find the file specified. Note: When opening a URL link in a Microsoft Outlook e-mail when Firefox is not running, Firefox may open along with an error dialog titled "Microsoft Office Outlook" with the message, General failure. For example, when Firefox is launched by double-clicking an Internet shortcut icon (or by entering the URL via "Start -> Run") you may see an error dialog similar to: To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. On some Windows systems, when Firefox is the default browser and is not already running, when you launch it by opening an Internet shortcut, a local HTML file, or a link in another application, two instances of Firefox may open or Firefox opens along with an error dialog, Windows cannot find "".
