Why the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

Recently on my desktop, Mozilla icon has changed to playback of Mozilla to 1788 (the right writing under blue the symbol for Mozilla Firefox). Is that what Mozilla has done or is there a problem I have to solve and if so how to I solve this problem?

Also there is a free antivirus protection, which works with Mozilla?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this case.

No, the shortcut on the desktop has not been renamed. First of all, make sure it is really pointing to Firefox and nothing else:

1 right-click on the icon and choose Properties.

2. in the Properties window, click the shortcut tab.

3 make sure that the target field says

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

4. If so, then click the general tab.

5. in the top text box, enter the name you want for the shortcut.

6. click the OK button when finished.

I guess that you are having problems with the avast! Online Security add-on, it is why you have it turned off? Any add-on that scans all the links on each page is bound to add a delay of loading time. If you have more serious problems, you can ask for help on the Avast forum:

This add-on is not required for virus protection and software malware. Here are a few alternatives for the features it offers:

    You have simply checked versions MCE in the wrong way!
    If you want to check the MCE versions open media center, click on "settings", then click "about media center". The version of MCE will appear.

    What you're watching now is the version of XP/OS. The XP is the Foundation for MCE. ;)

  • Why do I get the message asking me to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer whenever I click on the Firefox icon?

    When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, instead of struggling just to the Firefox page, I get a box asking me if it's good for Firefox to make changes to my computer. If I hit Yes, I get the Firefox page. If I don't hit, I get nothing. What is the reason for this?

    Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.

    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

    I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window!

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
