On one of the accounts when you click on the firefox icon, a message appears asking if you want to install firefox. Firefox works fine on the other accounts. The original version of Kubuntu loaded on this machine was 8.04. I loaded firefox then and it has worked fine with each upgrade until now. Any ideas on how to fix it?

That user *might* try renaming their firefox directory. That is, in
their home directory, there should be a hidden directory called
.mozilla.
(Note the period before the name.)
Sometimes, simply renaming that to .mozilla.orig will fix the issue, as
a new directory will be created next time they start. That will lose
their bookmarks, but if it solves the issue, they can probably be
retrieved from the old .mozilla.orig directory. (Though, not being a
big firefox user, I'm not sure how, but in opera it's quite easy.)
